[Ducati] NDC: Don't pass at the Gap

[David Ill]

Stupid should hurt...simple.
This guy was leading his group of riders, riding over his head.
He tried to pass in a incredibly stupid place.  A good handling sport bike 
with a better
than average rider could have made the pass. not this guy on a dresser, this 
day, or ever.
ya gota know your limitations!!

He locked up the rear, never touched the front brake. It wasn't target 
fixation.
The corner is slightly banked there, he steered into the slide and off the 
road.
With all that weight and using only one brake (locked up) he never had a 
chance. Just plain Dumb.

I have been riding 40 years I am not slow, and last time I made a mistake 
like that I was 16.
It hurt like hell, involved plaster, and a wadded up Triumph
I learned a lot that day!!

Stupid should hurt !!
