It took me several viewings to finally figure out what happened.  I think video rider sensed the rider behind was almost hitting him and got spooked.  I also wonder why he performed that last shift and just didn't stay on the throttle.

Not sure why i did that to be honest. I think maybe i was torn between braking hard but at the last moment i decided to just take the turn wide.  I took on the tar snake because the oncoming lane was
 full of gravel.

But you are right, when i was starting to look into the turn i saw the rider right next to me in my peripheral, so my planned line was out of the question. Im pretty confident that if i woulda took my planned line he would have smacked into me.

This probably contributed to my crash too. I remeber being super pissed when i was pulling out of that corner and my mind wasnt right for the rest of the ride.

well, nothing said you had to continue the ride. you or anyone else is free to pull out if its not going well for you. just let someone else know. or drop to the back and rethink things. i seperated from some people one morning because my comfort level wasnt where i would have liked it, mind elsewhere or speed or something. got back together with them at lunch and had a great afternoon. if i hadnt got back with them , i still had the route, and the sunshine, some tunes, and a smile riding my bike. 
hope this makes sense,

Three sets used up already, going on my fourth rear soon. Pilot road 2 and bt023. Damn thing just eats hoops.correction, on my third front this year and its newer.

heck yeah it was fun, we just gobbled up twisty pavement that day. and the bugs at the end lol 

tumbler, been on a ride this year???  (someone had to say it  just joking)

I have a set of those really trick crotches also.

WTF!!!!! lol ohhhhh you mean crutches ?? (sure hope so  )

good to hear from you , glad you are still progressing.

tony was going to start something but i was wondering if you could also share from your experience. Say for me, i do have passanger medical with progressive, but i do not have the rider for operator medical, i was given some options up to 25k for 300$+ . does the primary medical kick in and cover things, cant figure auto would want anything to do with it since the car was in the garage.  don't know why i was thinking about this lately but i have no understanding of how it works. I have heard to come up with something at home that could have caused it, but that cant always happen.

Super sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, if you want to start another thread, shoot me a pm or tell me to FO (lol) i understand.
thanks again and thanks for the update.

do you need to remove it once it starts drying out?? (so it doesnt work as an extra layer??)
never used one so sorry if its a dumb question
