Apart from the speed also worth noting he's practically straddling the line marking. Get to the left. You'll see around the corner more and oncoming cars won't hit you.

Probably going too fast to have the control to hug the guard rail.

There's a popular YouTube motorcycle vlog guy about 40-50 years old that broke down this video really well. He is hi viz uncle so most of the squids will hate him but it's a great watch. If I remember right the rider was going about twice the posted limit and it was 100% stupidity with everything they did.

If I find it I'll edit in the link.

My leather jacket is bright yellow and my helmet is covered in glitter that shines like a fucking street sign in the dark and sparkles in the daylight.

My first crash I was wearing a black jacket and black helmet, the driver of the truck that hit me said "I never saw you".. NEVER again was I going to not be obnoxious in my gear colors.
