He'd put me right off my riding waggling all around like that!! Nutter.

Supermoto is about making ragged riding look smooth
This guy is just abysmal, but phenomenally lucky, he's surely in a hedge by now...

His riding in shocking, I thought I was ham fisted on the throttle. The guy riding behind filming seemed a lot smoother, it didn't seem like they were going that quick around some of the corners, he was just concentrating on getting it cranked over and getting the throttle on. Tbh, I'm not impressed at all, a real supermoto rider would leave him standing still. |

I'm probably just impressed due to my crippling fear of going round corners and leaning over...Especially right handers! I'm not an ambi-turner. Maybe I should move abroad, would love roundabouts a lot more.

Curious, I don't ride hard but I wear the right hand side of my tyre out first. I prefer right hand bends as you usually have better visibility and aren't risking going wide into oncoming traffic (which by my logic is at twice the speed of stationary objects)

All good points, i don't know what it is really, perhaps having my throttle hand closer to the ground is the reason. My first ever off was on a roundabout so that could well be where it stems from.

I think he was trying to get some power slides on, so was purposefully being ragged. In any case, it's nice to see a vid of Mullholland from a helmet cam rather than from the side of the road watching people crash.

Yeah I agree, his 50 pence cornering and his roll off/ full on the throttle looks like he is trying to get a little rear wheel slide for the camera
