Title: ...insane video!!
Post by: Brook on May 06, 2012, 11:56:44 PM
.... for the ones that like the twistties, talking about body movement, position and their weight on the pegs??  check out min1:15
  for me, I do not move my butt from side to side very much, and I am comfortable with that, except in the very tight 90degree  turns.......and keeping the ball of my feet on the pegs.

  talking to a few of my younger friends, the R6's and GSXR's, they are saying [entering the turns]  their trick is to, plant their outside knee hard into the gas tank and get their torso as low as possible.
...... would anyone like to share their technique??

I feel safe in the knowledge that I will never ride that fast.
With that being said, it is damn fun to watch though!

I predict 3 out of 4 of them will not live to see next year if they continue to ride like that on the street.

Really fun to watch, but there was way too many opportunities for that car pulling out of the driveway.

I'd love to be that fast, but not on a public road!

I do share a lot in common with the guy on the super moto; running wide across the lines, dragging a foot, however, my speed is probably about 1/10 of his.

I was thinking the same thing.  Apparently that center line is invisible to riders in Greece...  It's no wonder their economy is crap.

Although I respect thier skill, these guys are organ donars. Those moves on the street will kill you or somebody else. Just no need for it...

All future road crayons.   I would applaud their skills but they are even pulling (stupid) moves on other motorcyclists.  The last thing going through any of their minds is going to be a hood ornament.

Extra thought #1:
It's no use having this kind of talent when you go out of your way to prove that you are incapable of intelligent though.

Extra thought #2:
At first I thought they had huge balls to ride like that, then realized that their balls are probably pretty small, since their brains share the same space...
