Busa wrecks hard following my Panigale

I attended The Keith Code riding school in NZ and read his book, it gave me excellent advice for the race track many years ago which translates to the road also, Fireman1251 is on the money, look at your exit and the bike will follow, no matter how much you think you won't make it, it will go that way!!!
I think this could have possibly been caused by the Victory rider, the POV Panigale rider and Busa rider could have been watching him and is poor line, not the corner, done this myself a few times and nearly ended in grief, only a thought.I now only look at my line and worry about the others in front if need be. Hope for his speedy recovery and back on the bike shortly.

Funny thing is, this 25 mile strip of road is all twisties and my absolute favorite road to ride in the Midwest. This was the begining of the ride, we hadn't even gotta up to speed yet. I usually lead a ride like this and we had already have our safety talk prior. I only let the Victory ahead of me because I was going to video him for a bit, he can infact "ride !! :)

...but you're absolutely right :eek:

Absolutely right and good observation. I think the Busa might have been looking at the Victory and myself, a very common mistake riders make.

I realized the Victory was about to go off and so I let off just a bit and held my line, as to not get hit from behind. Glad he maintained composure and with experience saved it the correct way (for his bike's lean angle)

Absolutely lol...depending on the severity of the injury/bike we've continued before, but this time it was a long cruise home...and we rode 70 miles just to get there :(
