Just another road I commonly ride on… I wonder if gravel had anything to do with this accident… it’s one of the turns that I know gravel is always there

You have a few track days under your belt, you know how to carry speed through a turn and look where you are going. 90% of the riders in our area know nothing outside of the MSF course if they even took that.

Paying attention is huge, knowing your limit on the bike is huger.
