So how good's your bike control?
 
Big risk this has been posted before. PC thinkers apart there is some wondrous skill on display here:

My control isn't quite to that standard - I think I'll practise those slides in the local car park. I don't enjoy the wheelies that much but that may because it reminds me of my own deficiencies (I blame it on age :wink: )

The sliding I can do (spent too long riding bikes in fields - principal is the same, but more revs needed to slide). The wheelies & endo's I wont be trying on the SV anytime soon, mainly because of my fear of binning it.

Also, I don't do the slides these days, because I want to keep my bank manager friendly and tyres cost too much :(

Edit: After making this post I rode home, and decided to jet wash the SV because it was in serious need of a clean, and time didn't allow for anything else. Spent a few quid on a shampoo & wax & carefully jetted the bike. Set off out of the petrol station thinking "OK, brakes are going to be bad, wet, shampoo & wax..." Sat waiting for traffic to go by & started getting more & more frustrated when normally I would of just gone. So I decide "F' this" & went off half chaff. Lots of revs, slipping the clutch just after letting go of the front brake. Sliding fun! (I'm sure there's a top - dangerous - tip in there somewhere!)

One of these days I'm gonna go out, get myself a cheapy bike, tough leathers, and just bin it round a bit to learn to do this stuff so i don't go green every time I watch these ;)

wow, ive never seen stunders so good before.

Ed 11-09-06 08:21 PM

I think there's some terrific stuff on there. Very impressive
:thumbsup:

There's another video on there - 'brutal motorcycle crash' - horrible. Note that immediately after the smash the cars behind the one that caused the accident simply drove off.

Wheelies I can do in a straight line, but not to that standard at all.

Stoppies - ummm, no.

Sliding - Not on my shiny baba.

If I had a stunt bike, a legal spot and the time to practice, I'd probably be able to crack it.

Not really into stunt videos, but that is something else!!! (nut just wheelies and stopies) ... The guy on the CBR is a god!!! Awesome :)
