Can someone point me in the direction of a video that has been posted previously on here? - SV650.org

I'm trying to find the video of the racer riding on a wet track where the bike is all over the shop. I've searched on youtube but don't know his name or which track it is.

Anyone know who I mean?

Pretty sure I posted it, you just caught me online in a BnB in SA, what are the odds...

it actually isnt anywhere near as scary or as difficult as it looks in the video. Riding on full wet tyres gives you much more grip than you would expect, when the rear lets go like that you can obviously feel it go but it happens fairly smoothly and predictably. Sometimes it can surprise you but its usually possible to catch it by backing off the throttle a touch.

When the front lets go, which it doesnt in this video, then thats a totally different ball game.

Had some similar fun and games this last weekend down at Anglesey. Its even worse when you are caught on a drying track with full wet tyres.
