Does anyone recognise the bike at 32 seconds? Seems like a 3 wheeler and he bravely rides it with no hands later in the video. I dont like the song by the way; therefore suspect GN2 will:

No, he absolutely hates it.
The three wheeler isn't much better either, the track is far too wide.

My thought exactly.. The spyder is even more stupid.

I always think to myself why dont they just get a convertible. That way they can have 4 seats, a trunk, fresh air, and still take up an entire lane.

Makes a refreshing change to seeing people getting mad and swearing in crash videos:

That to me is a classic example of someone making no allowances for the amount of room coaches need to get round those sort of bends. Don't get me wrong here, but I drive coaches and have driven in the Alps region. That biker had more than enough time to react and slow down to let the coach come up. The biker would have been in the drivers blind spot for that hairpin as well!

I agree to be honest. Read the road ahead when you view it again and perhaps he should have slowed down and given it more room

Had worse round blind bends and hedges in Yorkshire
