A fast motorcycle towards at that point has already negotiated two or three bends with solid white lines, his speed and positioning ought to be appropriate, however we all know that isn't always the case and it's a matter of degree. WE ought to be prepared for the unexpected, always.
Stressed - they'll kick in later in the day perhaps, new medication on New Year's day, yuck
The angle of the bend makes stuff-all difference if you can't see. What it does do is increase the speed of an oncoming vehicle. I'd be less concerned about a motorcycle as their ability to corner is somewhat less than a car (from the point of view of self-preservation rather than any defects in tyre grip) than someone like me who would undoubtedly be punching it out of the last of that sequence.
Read my original post - not new drugs, but existing drugs that, thanks to the addition of liquid local anaesthetic dropped up the nose actually have time to work.

There's someone who hasn't seen the Google car. They have 360 degree cameras to avoid the need to double mileage by driving up and down the same road to record views.
Look at that, me explaining something to the VI (tha's like OP but with slightly more insulting undertones) without using swearwords.
