Totally fricken nuts! That one at 1:20 is awesome, total wobble and then to come out with a wheelie. :rofl:
Lessons I learnt from watching this video..
1. Apparently, by not letting go of the bars, even when you have been physically ejected from the seat, you can survive any loss-of-traction event.
2. If you wish to be a demi-god of riding, apply gobs of throttle immediately after surviving such events, instead of pulling over, getting off and crying like mere mortals would do.
Crazy crazy men...

Yeah, I was thinking that myself - then it was obvious - if you want the front end to stop pitching all over the place - GET IT OFF THE GROUND!.... :lol:

Sounds great in theory but need the balls and the brains to think of quickly enough to save yourself. Maybe they practice. I would imagine those superbikes have enough balls to lift at those speeds. Last year I lifted the front of a Kawasaki ZX10R at over 100mph but to be honest, I wasn´t even trying, just did it on its own.
Those guys realy have their act together to be able to come out of a lot of those wobbles and maintain their balance..They are awesome..
