Great vid, SpankMe, thanks for posting it.
Shakey Byrne is the fucken man on that TL-R though, I think that was shot well before he was in BSB. Some of the lane splitting's pretty horrendus.

If it's the same Fast Bikes vid I'm thinking of then I've got the full version. Also has some minimoto action in it along with a bin or two for good measure, including one just after a toll booth and iirc one going through a tunnel.
Damn those guys are lunatics!! I guess the vid sort of resembles a auck kb ride, although there would be more bins than in the vid i guess.

awsome video, the commentary was interesting, better than all the vids with just bikes hooning to music.
They were pretty f***'n insane riders though...
The bit where the guy hit his shoulder on the side mirror of an on-coming car when he was getting his knee down around the corner was bloody close.

BY THE WAY DO NOT BUY "HOW TO PULL WHEELIES AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE I AND THE SEQUEL - HOW TO PULL WHEELIES AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE II"
Both tapes are a piece of shit -- too much talking not enough crazy riding.

Watch that video carefully ...pretty insane riding ...Watch how many times they cross the centre line ,,,basically they DONT ...and also the average speed around those hill is quite slow ...Mongo knows
Also splitting lanes on coming cars ...well that car ISNT going to cross the centre line so there is effectivly a third lane ,,,and ALL the road users know this So yes it looks insane ...but ...( mind you shakey burn is in GP now is he not ,,,so he must have an Idea about the twisty thing on a bike ,,,,
Any one been in a car in greece or italy ??
PLEASE DONT DO THIS IN NZ ,,,The driving conditions are completly different as are the drivers ...
Mind you a mono past a cafe ,,,full of bikers will be appriecated ,,,
On a lighter note ,,I am loading the truck for tomorrows Race ,,and at the intersection ,,a car is turning right and a woman in a red small car has just gone steaming up the arse of it .... right now she is on all fours bowing and appologising most profusely ,,,,,( silly moo would have been better watching where she was going ,,,,)

Yea I noticed that. Looking at the drivers of the cars they looked alot calmer than someone from here would under those circumstances. Kinda like they trusted the other road users to not fuck up.
The guy whose mirror he hit saw it comming and didn't do anything other than what he would have done had no one been there. Anything else would have caused a wreck.
There were a few times that they crossed the centre line though. When the TL kept running wide (and they did mention it) twords the begining and a few time they were doing the corner shootout and the wheellstands but most of those times they could see the road ahead clearly.

Well worth it, although I think it only took me about 4 minutes to download.
Haven't driven in car in Greece, but did spend a couple of days on a 125 step-through only a few weeks back. I'm glad I didn't go for anything bigger, I kept risking running myself into trouble on the scooter. Hate to think what I wouldv'e done on the gixxer...
