Ive long maintained its all about the rider not the bike and watching this guy on a Goldwing kind of backs it up on a real road.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nrMQ3QwyPo&feature=related

that is pretty good but I'm more impressed by the guy who filmed it while riding his Raleigh 20, backwards, with his eyes shut, while hooking out Chuck Norris, pissed.

Madness.
The man has some balls. Not to mention talent,and a road he obviously knows well.Good on him i get sick of listening to prats with the latest and greatest actually believing that by buying it there riding skills improve.

I was impressed.

I love the sound of scraping every time the camera bike goes round a right hander!

Borrowed Yungatart's Ninja EX500 for a blat with MSTRS on his Gixxer 750.
He is vastly more experienced than me and much smoother but from time to time I almost kept up with him!
However I did leave some stylish scrape marks on the exhaust with some of my cornering.....sorry and thanks Yungatart:Oops:

The goldwing rider takes far superior lines to the camerabike rider. If the they could of followed goldwings lines the chaser would of barely scraped on those rights.
