Or, you get to be this guy



Cheesing for the camera on 129/ The Dragon, he runs wide, into a Vette.

It seems like he looks exactly where he wants to go:  into the Vette.

I've seen a lot of that in the on line videos, riders distracted by those filming and taking pictures on the side of the road.  I guess he made the mistake of being distracted coming into a turn.

..the rider made his situation worse once he began to stray over the double yellows when he panicked and hit the brakes (you can clearly see the bike lift out of the turn and straighten up). 

A better "oh make the beast with two backs" strategy is to try to learn to go the counter steering and lean.. lean..lean.. stay the make the beast with two backs off the brakes.. or the bike will do just as this guy's did.

You're right about the correct response, although I suspect he'd have been in deep shit regardless. Not much lean to be had on that thing, particularly when sitting upright in the middle.
