How was it determined the camera bike was a speed triple? I take someone knows him? I only saw a yellow fender, sounds like a triumph though.

M/C tire. Most likely a Metzler. Another classic rear brake highside from the, imho, the safety hazard called Metzler.

I am convinced this is what led to my unscheduled offing and the totaling of my 06 R3 on Angels Crest Highway a few months ago...

Sorry to hear about your off. I'm sure the sanctimonious will be along soon to "help" you with your now obvious poor riding technique and braking skills. They, of course, are so superior.

If you look in the reflection in the helmet visor of the rider of the camera bike after the crash, You will see one of these...

I, too, am sorry to hear about Buck's unscheduled "get-off". However, it is neither sanctimonious, nor wrong, to try to learn and to improve by analyzing the mistakes of others.

There's a difference between those that provide constructive points and those that are sanctimonious.

I've found myself out of shape in a corner before, coming in too hot with my arsehole cutting button holes in the seat. Regardless of experience level, technique, tires, etc, a moments inattention will undo even the best of riders. Some of the worst roads to ride from a safety perspective are the ones we all seek out...twisty, picturesque, etc...allow your attention to be diverted for a second or two while riding those kinds of roads and even the most experienced among us could end up in the same position. The explanation could be as simple as the fact that the guy was caught up in the moment and allowed his attention to wander to something other than what he was doing...of course that wouldn't make very interesting posts I guess
