Don't cross the line!!!
This is a fun slideshow I found rummaging through Dragon photos. Hope he learned his lesson.
The fun starts around picture 10.

Looks like he made 3 mistakes.
1. Too much entry speed into the turn
2. Rolled off of the throttle
3. Stood up the bike
He would have been better off rolling the throttle, keeping his angle and low side instead.

Yikes! I'm guessing the reason the set ended was b/c the photographer ran over to help.
Crazy. Poor Vette driver. Just out for a nice cruise and had it ruined by someone driving outside of their abilities...

I believe that is pretty much a textbook case of target fixation.
Wonder what was going through the guys mind in shot 19 as he experienced his brief moment of weightlessness?

^^ Sometimes people do that on a decreasing radius curve. But that is not the case here.
He was into the turn, touched the cold hard pavement because his bike was loaded down (way too heavy). He had leaned that far before and never touched...So he was startled and over corrected driving into the oncoming traffic.

You can see his point of contact right here^
Been there, done that, period.
