I ride a 1000cc very much like this bike, it's easy to get carried away, but you get a doubt in your mind every time and you can see it go through his mind a few seconds before the car pulls out.
That doubt, you ALWAYS have to listen to it or you don't get to ride again.
I watch videos like this once a day to brutally remind myself of the reality of what I'm exposed to daily, no time for denial.
This one has today has made me think a little more about situations like this, thankyou for sharing.
It has probably saved my future self.
Rest in peace buddy 😢
I've watched it time and time again and the only way of avoiding that was him keeping his speed down or at least braking to a sensible speed the second he saw the car.
Poor guy 😞
@TheJmebe
Thank you for sharing this - my thoughts and condolences..
Bikers - If you don't want to read this mini essay! please, do one or both of the following:
1. regularly, like every time you go out, find a quiet piece of road, and practise a full emergency stop.
2. trade your non-ABS bike in for one with ABS.
I had a very similar accident, but fortunately for me, the car stopped a couple of feet shorter and I went straight over the bonnet and landed unscathed, pretty much. The driver actually looked at me, then looked left, pulled out, looked right again and then stopped still looking at me! Nowhere to go, but I was lucky ..and so was the car driver - a foot or two further forwards we'd both of been in trouble.
Now, I always ride past junctions with right foot covering the back brake* and two fingers on the front brake. I slow to the exact speed limit, or just below and move toward the centre line. If I see cars waiting at the junction I am expecting them to pull out and need to brake and brake hard.
*For non-ABS sports/sporty bikes, the back brake is next to useless. If you have ABS however, just use both brakes as hard as you can - this is reason enough to trade your non-ABS bike in for one that has ABS as it removes the thinking on how much pressure to apply etc. All bikes sold from 2017 on, have to have ABS by law.
After my accident it occurred to me that I'd never ever tried an emergency stop on the bike I was riding at that time. Now, I practise, in a safe place, an emergency stop every time I go out - regardless of if you have ABS, I would definitely recommend practising regularly.
Remember that some bikes, definitely non-ABS sporty bikes, need a progressive squeeze of the front brake - the suspension needs to compress slightly before you can apply full braking force - I tried just pulling the front brake on my pre-ABS Fireblade. I didn't let the forks compress at all and the front immediately locked - as I was on a deserted road and practising, I got away with it - released the pressure immediately, and carried on.
In a real emergency this is no good. If this happens to you, go around the vehicle if you can - if you focus on the car, you will just ride straight at it. If you can't go either side of the vehicle, avoid low siding. Brake in a straight line has hard as you can. Practise emergency stops regularly on your bike to know what is most effective in a emergency...
I also have a big heavy touring bike with ABS (Honda Pan European) - these types of bikes actually behave brilliantly in an emergency situation - I don't have to think, I just pull the front brake hard and press the rear brake hard (even so, practising emergency stops on ABS equipped bikes will help to prepare you.

Those slow signs on the road are to indicate you are approaching a junction. They are no joke.

ARAF to those watching in welsh
@kimwhitbread2799
And the hash markings to say nothing of the bollards..all speak SLOW DOWN...
@badmattam
I’m a biker ( started off-road at 15 years old and then on road at 16. I’m now 62 ) and this young man’s actions is why bikers have a bad name. Of course, I’m sorry he lost his life however approaching a junction at high speed with cars left and right is, and was, an absolute recipe for disaster. As a biker on the road, you must assume everyone around you is both blind and stupid and act accordingly. That way you’ve a far better chance of not being a statistic. RIP lad.
@HalfdeadRider
This is a pretty fast road anyway, this kind of thing is of course more dangerous and more likely to end badly when using excessive speed, but it does happen to bikers going the speed limit too, as a biker for so long you of all people should know that.
An old school friend of mine was killed doing 60 in a 60, when a van driver who wasn't paying attention pulled out on him. This was while his girlfriend was following on her bike, poor girl was on comms too, said to him a second before "I don't think that van has seen you".
He had no chance to react, he didn't even come off the bike, but died instantly.
@Glickse
I agree, sadly he lost his life. There were three visible red tarmac signs indicating slow before approaching the junction. He sadly kept speeding. As you clearly stated; in a motor bike, always assume everyone is blind or stupid.
@badmattam
@HalfdeadRider I'm sorry to hear about your friend. But, as I'm sure you'd agree, ' he was doing the speed limit' (60mph!) isn't some kind of cloak of invincibility, that by keeping to the limit albeit at the very maximum....you're somehow exempt from being hurt or killed. As I stated earlier, we as bikers, when on the road, are at our most vulnerable. It is our duty to ride defensively in keeping life and limb together when in high traffic/ junction/ merging situations. No amount of leather, body armour or top spec helmets is going to change that. Again, when on the road, it is potentially lethal to ASSUME other road users can see you. You must always ASSUME THEY CAN'T, and act accordingly ie slow down when approaching junctions and intersections, particularly if the limit is in the higher range. As I also stated, there's no 'do overs' for us riders. With cars/vans, it's bashed bodywork and generally no serious injury. For us, it could be potentially life changing or life ending.
Safe riding.
@HalfdeadRider
@@badmattam There are two things you clearly do not understand here, one, my point, two, my friend was doing absolutely nothing wrong and was killed!
You can not be defensive to a driver that pulls out when you are way passed the point of being able to react, let alone avoid the vehicle pulling out on you.
@King_Barney
I was thinking the same thing. The road had "slow" on it, he completely ignored it to get footage. It's a shame.
@samj1185
any experienced motorcycle rider will tell you that when you approach an intersection you . 1. slow down a little 2. place fingers and foot over the brakes/clutch lever/pedal anticipating trouble 3. Scan what everyone at the intersection is doing and may be thinking of doing 4. expect someone to do something that will harm you. This motorcycle rider did exactly the opposite.
