ya realise ya messed up and there's no time for correcting the mishap , ie: LEANING / Turning ! Yur just out of time and it's just not possible.
happened to me once. Now every time i get on the bike i say repeatidly over and over " lean the bike john - lean the bike " until it's kinda engrained into the DNA .....
That guy was lucky ! so was i ....

ps. in my case the only way i was gona save the day was if i threw the bike down into a powerslide like flat tracking - but again , it all happens so fast .

Target fixation?
And that looks more like Angeles Nation Forest Highway, not Angeles crest.

Seems to make a slow and indistinct turn in on the last bend, this puts him over the line wide which is where the trouble sets in. He nudges back in to miss the first one but then seems to get fixed on the second one and goes wider, then makes a decision and does well to make the gap. As far as I can tell there is no way of establishing if he looked before pulling back out so benefit of the doubt there.
Looks like wandering concentration followed by wandering line followed by a big slice of luck. Still there can't be many of us on here who haven't drifted over the line at some stage. I have plenty of times and my luck was simply not to meet something heavy and solid coming the other way.
Final thought. Perhaps I'm odd but when I have a genuine close call like that I never talk about it. Cant shut me up on trivia but for some reason the 'real' stuff stays in the locker. Anybody else do that?
