Nice use of the rear brake from the cameraman eh!

Got to say, fast riding but most of the time it seemed relatively ok on the safe side. I imagine they did actually look round the corners where the camera can't see and judged that it was safe. Still....wouldn't catch me riding like that!

Oh and just how much faster was the gsxr rider? Duke was a bit slow.

They are quick and very confident. The back and front wheel on the breaks are moving all over the place. Whilst fast I go with the vis being pretty good with left handers. But they did get caught on a right hander between cars one time.

What was wrong with it? Not very neat 'backing in' a couple of times, other than that nice confident use of the throttle, and while it's easy to say that the visibility wasn't good the position of the camera accentuates that feeling, so it may have been OK. Quick though.

I thought he was ragged and choppy with the throttle, no?

how many of you could have your tires break away like that, that many times and just keep it going?

i think there is alot of skill in doing that and keeping it up!
