Who ****** in your Cheerios?
I remember going through the same thing the first few times I took my new-to-me FJ around the block for the first time. Was mostly caused by my lack of feel and coordination over the controls.
I can sympathize. But that was one mild-*** non-corner.
Guys like you: how many 8th place trophies do you have at home?

Well, for all those people who say you don't need to learn how to consciously counter steer because you do it automatically - this is what comes of that.
Almost happened to me shortly after passing my test - in the UK they don't even teach you how to push steer, let alone the theory behind it.

It's the internet. I'm sure he has nothing but firsts and is just as good or better than rossi.
Everyone makes mistakes. This was a stupid one yes and going to a bigger was too but that's just how it works sometimes.

Also on a serious note....I still remember one of my M2 course instructors used to race, and his comment was if you ever think you won't make a corner and it is too late to stop/bleed off speed, just lean more. The bike can lean more than you think you can lean, and either you'll make the corner or you'll lowside...and a lowside is better than a highside on the shoulder (if you are wearing gear).

Definitely good advice, I was also told this. Helped me out a couple times, though I don't know if I would have actually gone down or not.
That's not usually how it works. Looking far ahead would have meant he could see the exit of the bend, and plan a trajectory. He was going too quickly for his own ability, panicked, starting staring at the edge of the road as the bike approached it, and ended up right where he was looking. Classic target fixation.

Yeah. Fixated on the edge of the road instead of looking where he needed to go. Noob mistake. As stated already...if yer gonna crash...lean it in more. Nothing to lose at that point...and the bike will lean a lot more than you think. Even said it to myself on occasion.
This guy needs sure needs some riding/cornering lessons. Also, he could've easily saved it, if he didn't panic so ****ing bad. Just go straight and rear break.
I started on a 600 f4i 10 years ago(too much bike for me at the time) and laid it down at the Forks trying to keep up with some more experienced friends.
After that, went straight to FAST and took both courses, best money I've ever spent on motorcycling. Smooth is fast, fast is smooth
