This stretch of US Highway 129 is known as “The Dragon” and can be quite challenging to even the experienced rider.
Along with the weekend riders and sports cars several photographers set up along the roadway snapping photos and posting on line for purchase. As we see here the rider was paying more attention to the camera guy for that perfect shot and not the road conditions.
I believe if he was in 2nd-3rd gear and did not panic he could have throttled through the corner and possibly pulled out of it.
For the most part your bike will go where your eyes are looking. Focus on where you need the bike to go.
