Look's like it tightens up a fair bit, how fast were you going round it again?

then these next 3 pics where sort of mid bend from each direction I think you can see marking on the road where someone else crashed on the other side of the road (different time)

then this last one was sort of coming from the other direction....


this kind of really make me think that there was something in the road as I can't see why it tucked....

there was a bit of un-even ground coming into the bend

the bend sort of go up then dips to the left and its quite a quick turn...

I feel I had the bike tipped in quick and it tucked quickly I don't remember seeing the exit....   :dontknow: oh well bikes back now

on to mending it  :icon_thumleft:

Did you touch the white line or maybe a cats-eye ?

difficult to describe but to me that bend does look like it could be a scarey one, up hill and then a camber leading to downhill and from a fasr straight, anyone could lose it there I reckon  :dontknow:

heavy on supspension coming in perhaps and on the brakes and then all light getting around that could easily unsettle everything taking weight off tyres sort of thing.....................  I know what I mean just can't find the words  [wall]

Put it down to experience, thank you're lucky stars you're in one piece and put that corner behind you. Until you ride teh IOM again that is.
