Not that I ever ride anything like that quick on the road these days, but when I get a near miss, or lucky escape like that it always acts as a slap on the wrists - whether it was my fault or not. If it was someone else's fault then the slap on the wrists was still for me to pay more attention to not put myself in that situation again or to watch out for the circumstances that led up to it.

I just hope that rider takes it the same way - that could easily be dismissed as skill, rather than luck, and he could carry on riding the same way (or worse) and end his life, and possibly someone elses,through arrogance . Don't get me wrong I think that film shows skill to avoid locking up, panicking and bailing etc etc but the real skill is to never end up in a situation where you have to use those skills like that.....
