Yeah you could lay the blame on ANYTHING sitting there. Bottom line was the rider was a fool for touching the brake mid turn with a lot of lean angle on street tires and poor trail braking skills. Owned

I don't know the speed limit on Mulholland, but do you really think he's going the speed limit or under?

IMO, it looks like the rider saw the cop, target fixated for a second (wobble moment), then grabbed the brake and used up what remaining traction he had in an "Oh shit, it's a cop" moment and went down.

going through the turn its entireley possible. Some signs in NY will have a curve at so many MPH and some you can go through at twice whats posted and some its whats posted or even less.

Yep - NY has a "recommended" speed sign so you can usually get away with going over, however, if something happens (accident) you'll get an "unreasonable speed" ticket in the blink of an eye :lol:

Thats what drives me nuts up in the catskills I will see a 15mph sign so I slow down and am like where the damn turn, then others will say 15 and its some sort of 180 degree hairpin turn. theres realy no consistency in the signs here.

don't let Patterson hear you - there will be a tax on turns next.
and consistency is against the law in this state.

Our recommended signs are actually pretty consistent at half of what you should be going.

patterson cant see the signs anyway :lol: beside some other inappropriate shit he did will surface sooner or later. In retrospect looks like spitzer wasnt all that bad he just banged a few hookers.

yeah - honestly, I could care less who the governor is banging as long as the state does what it's supposed to do.
