This demonstrates exactly the horrors of the "racing line" on an open public road.

Couldn't be any clearer than that.

I know two 'normal' bikers like us who have been seriously injured in head on collisions with knee down morons on the wrong side of the road. There's a clue in the name 'racing line'...

Yes I was almost taken out head on (before my accident) by a bloke completely on the wrong side of the road, on a bike. We were both going at a fair lick of pace at the time and if I hadn’t got out of the way heaven (I think that’s where one of us would have ended up) only knows what the outcome might have been. Still we’ve all done some silly things in our time I’m sure. I know I have. However it does usually seem to be the “power ranger” types that seem to think they own the road.
