Hell I wish I could teach the men driving Dualies here that philosophy too. My second wreck was due to a dualie being in my lane as I entered a corner and as I corrected, I hit some gravel and went down.

I'm not too picky about my lines on the street, but you should never find yourself outside of your lane unexpectedly. If you do find yourself outside of your lane unexpectedly, then you should consider riding with a larger margin of safety.

I voted #2: "When more than a slight adjustment is needed", as I've "blown" a turn but not left my lane plenty of times.

Are Goldwings the motorcycle equivalent of dualies?

As for making corrections in a curve, I do it all the time on decreasing-radius curves, or when someone comes over the double-yellow. And I don't consider that a blown curve. Going off the pavement, being in the wrong gear, looking somewhere else instead of around the curve, gassing it too quickly, or not braking with enough force blows the curve for me.

crossing into another lane does it for me.

The guy on the Gixxer blows his line too on the way back up the road if you check out the next pic down on Killboy. Both need some driving lessions.

He was probably just following the 'wing's example
