Cool vid!

I don't think their days are too numbered... I've been following Mr. Stoner relatively regularly and he tail breaks into corners all the time :D... of course he not on crappy active european highways... details...

I wasn't referring to the trail braking. I was referring to the examples where they've crossed over the lines into on-coming lanes, coming far to close to on-coming vehicles. If they want to ride that freely, they should take it to the track. Or at the very least somewhere where they can see things coming from a distance...too many examples of them taking chances in that vid.

Just saw the vid! Those guys are crazy and stupid! The one guy is about 4ft. over the line and almost became a hood ornament. "Backin' it In" is cool, but at the expense of becoming an aftermarket part on a car or better yet "Highsiding off a cliff! SFI= Stupid F_ _ _ ing Idiots

Awesome riding.....but friggin nutz. We have all ridden balls out, but not without regard to on-coming traffic. I have done my share of crossing double yellows transitioning through the twisties...but I realize my kids need their dad more than I need the adrenalin rush. I have grown up enough to know that my aggressive riding moments are better enjoyed @ a trackday. I will most definitely do some this season.

Again those riders are professional, but are really risking too much for the sake of advertising for their shop. It make me reflect on some of my triple digits fly-bys in the twisties and make give thanks I didn't become a hood ornament.

Anyone wanna plan a Ducati 1098 trackday for Northern California. PM me.

The second video was sweet! Hayden is such a good rider. The first video was just sheer stupidity. A lot of people can back into corners. A lot of people can go really fast through some turns. Even more people can do wheelies. But smart people know when and where to do it and thats the difference. Jake Zemke (who is from the same town I am from and I've hung out with on a few occasions) doesn't even have an M1 license! He can do all that stuff better then those kids. Just dumb, gives us all a bad name. This is why political groups want to ban motorcycles.
