That was definitely scary in places, but I still enjoyed watching it.

COMPLETE NUTTERS. Saying that, when they got out on the open road there was some really good riding going on.

That video captures better than anything else I've ever seen what it feels like to actually crash a bike. Gave me shivers... And every time they run wide in the right handers and it's nothign but blind luck that they don't end up a hood ornament, it gives me that terrible sinking feeling that you get when you f*** up on the road.

I felt so much safer on the road once the guy crashed and they all packed up for the day. ...and I live 18000 kms away from there.

The "running wide" was a feature of the clip. He blamed the bike but was happy enough to continue riding it. I thought that often his line to the apex and his entry speed was the issue.

Why in earth would you do any of that stuff in the video unless your bike had a respawn swtich instead of a kill switch.
