Totally fricken nuts! That one at 1:20 is awesome, total wobble and then to come out with a wheelie.

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!....

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..

This Amazing Motor Bike Crash Saved has never been better evidence of that...

Some of those guys must have some serious bruised inner thighs...........

[Pat Conlon]

....and with that amount of bar shake, some dislocated thumbs, ouch (see that one rider shaking his hand?)   Those guys are amazing athletes.
