Broadlands - not quite the same maybe. It is true that on a motorcycle, where look is where you'll go. So always look as far into the 'vanishing point' of a bend as you can, never at the hedge bordering the bend.
I once got caught out at Alderney in a PA38 approaching over the cliff edge. The wind was down the runway so I was expecting a mighty downdraught on final (so made a high slightly fast approach) but completely underestimated its strength. Retracting the last stage of flap and applying lots of power got us safely to the runway, but I was shaken by the incident as I HAD been expecting it - but hadn't been expecting anything as strong as that.
