Talk about natural selection...

[mynameis]

No doubt they are good riders but this kinda shit on the roads they must be nuts!! The gixxer guy is a bit rough in some corners but watch carefully towards the end, the near miss with the truck! :sick:

I hope none of you are doing this on the roads in NZ! Take it to the track guys. All the balls of steel and aggression belong there nowhere else.

Man they dont even wave at the other bikers, what idiots!

[mynameis]

Lol @ waving I am actually surprised they didn't bin it and came out alive at the end.....was waiting for a 0o0h fuck moment!

[MIXONE]

That display of riding was about as smooth as the road outside Finn's house:laugh:

Yeah same. But I still cant believe that they didnt wave! :shit:

[Kendog]

Man they dont even wave at the other bikers, what idiots!

And sometimes their head and body was over the center line.
In fact it was often difficult to tell which side of the road they were meant to be riding on.

But, but there were other SPORTSBIKES and they didnt even try and wave!

[Mikkel]

Fuck what a bunch of idiots... they're even riding on the wrong side of the road!

[Devil]

Yikes. Camera bike is backing it in all over the place.

[gtr boy]

cant wait for the nxt loop...................:2thumbsup

[Finn]

Was that a Ducati 999 up front? The Gixxer was all over the place trying to catch up.

[ital916]

fucking idiots! Thats what give motorcyclists a bad name! Some of those hairpin they were lucky nothing was oncoming! Is it just me or does the bike with the cam always feel like it's sliding the back and when he cuts the corner at the beginning almost loses the front?

[ital916]

The guy up front was a better rider lol but still stupid

[ManDownUnder]

That's just me and Cola heading over the taka's. We were taking it easy for Riffer I think we'll leave him at home next time. It's just not fair.

The ol' RF hauls arse though huh?

One of the right hand side driving countries, I am lead to believe they are yankies.

It's called natural selection at those insane speeds!

DON'T YOU DO IT, I'll spare you to the lions!

You bastards could've waved! :angry:

[ManDownUnder]

You bastards could've waved! :angry:

piss off - you were miles ahead of us.

[surfchick]

those guys were all about doing it for the cams- the front bike had a rear facing cam... my guess back guy we were on board with was not wantin to look dumb gatting faded on cam:shit:. just about ballsed it a couple of times with the attempted crew-cut to his fairings w. the oncoming truck...

[mynameis]

Was that a Ducati 999 up front? The Gixxer was all over the place trying to catch up.

Yeah Duc in front and Gixxer at the back, no wonder. Repsol thou would have kept up anyday!


fucking idiots! Thats what give motorcyclists a bad name! Some of those hairpin they were lucky nothing was oncoming! Is it just me or does the bike with the cam always feel like it's sliding the back and when he cuts the corner at the beginning almost loses the front?

Spot on, I think he locked his back a few times and misses gears too. He went off road as well, trying to keep up!

[snuffles]

But, but there were other SPORTSBIKES and they didnt even try and wave!

And they didnt have flouro jackets on

[90s]

"What did you do today dear?"

Outcome 1: "I made this totally radical film on me and zed ripping up the roads on our bikes! Man we are so fast! Zed thinks I am so cool he would marry me if he could!"

Outcome 2: "Me and zed made a snuff movie! Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead"

Funny thing, not their decision which of these outcomes they ended up with ...

[Str8 Jacket]

And they didnt have flouro jackets on

That's cause they didnt crash, duh! :p

[gtr boy]

DON'T YOU DO IT, I'll spare you to the lions!
just shit stirring....:niceone:

[onearmedbandit]

Damn outlaw bikers.

[cowboyz]

well it didnt impress me - and I impress easily. Apart from waiting for the bin, which very surprisingly didnt come, the riding wasnt that fast or smooth. They were trying to be fast which just looks dumb. Instead of the sound of the bikes they could have put the spider-pig soundtrack to it.
Bet that if they made it to a track they would realise how slow they are.

[steveb64]

That Gixxer was on the ragged edge once or twice - 'specially when trying to slow for some of the corners... :wacko:

The thought I had was "Good thing those bikes heading the other way hadn't been held up by the cages - if they'd arrived much earlier, they'd have had fun trying to dodge the two prats being filmed, particularly around those blind LH's they were cutting".

On the other hand, it look like a fun road for a good blast - just with less traffic on it. :rockon:

[R6_kid]

methinks he was doing it on purpose... they certainly aren't short on skill, as for judgement :laugh:

I posted a video ages ago of guys on similar bikes on what seemed to be similar roads, doing the whole 'backing it in' thing on the open road. May be the same guys. Think they were Greek.

Ummm, I would of thought if they were so skilled at to be able to "back it in" they would leave it for the track?
Must be short of track days in Greese?

IMHO, they were self taught nut cases. Not very smart...

Good link McDuck.
Surprisingly a well balanced story too.

[eliot-ness]

Well, it loked fast, but that's about it. Did no-one else notice that the Suzuki speedo was in kph, and only once did it reach just over 160. Don't know if it's possible to doctor those videos but it sure looked like they did. Apart from that their riding was crap, relying mostly on good luck rather than skill. I've seen better on SH16.

[k14]

Yikes. Camera bike is backing it in all over the place.
Thats not backing it in, thats just not knowing how to change down gears properly.

I doubt they will live to film many more vids, glad they aren't in NZ. Thats some seriously dodgy riding. All balls and 0 skill.

It went over 200 a number of times.

right at the beginning you see 205 on the clock, but agree the speed and skill levels were sad, Ive seen better riding and higher corniering speeds from some of our learners, let alone our more skilled riders, on the road to any NZ Ralley!
A poor showing in my opinion, just a pair of big egos, looking like fools

[McDuck]

It went over 200 a number of times.

190 at 8second
200 at 22
and a lot of other times that i can not be foorked watching.

[McDuck]

Given there is a strong chance there was next to no high speeds after i gave up watching...

[McDuck]

Could be worse tho, they could be doing it in NZ....



Oh hang on, people do called the coro loop.

[eliot-ness]

It went over 200 a number of times.
:Oops: missed the first bit, however, still not impressed, the cornering speeds were well down considering the amount of road they were using and what looked like a top class road surface.

[McDuck]

Yea. They did not seem to be leaning over that farr and knee scraping was baddly done.

[mynameis]

Lol @ guys commenting about their "shit" riding skills (not their judgement, brains and common sense). :lol:

[Romeo]

That was 5 minutes of "Highside at any second" material. The potential to kill other motorcyclists/drivers is so great that I don't see how any sane motorcyclist could actually enjoy this?

[mynameis]

My exact message, I too cannot understand what was in their minds to do something like this. Not rational, logical, sensible or thoughtful at all.

Must be some chemical that gets released to the brain which makes us all do stupid things, not this drastic though. Theirs must be in abundance.

[DEATH_INC.]

Not that impressive....not fast, no decent wheelies....nothing.
I'd say that they could see around the corners they were cutting, the tankcam is a fair bit lower than ya head.
As for nearly hitting the truck, c'mon, the bike was on his own side of the road even.....not even close. :yawn:

[Waylander]

Used to be a time when a vid like this would have been praised with people admitting they wish they could ride like that.

[Brett]

What morons. They ride pretty well. Gixxer rider is rough on purpose IMO. Still idiots though.

[MIXONE]

Abd their countersteering skills were sadly absent:Oops:

[Dak]

On a side note, that was a frikkin awesum looking bit of road.

[Sketchy_Racer]

I think they were going a fair amount faster through those corners than you would expect.

Do they have skill? yes

Are they fuggin stupid, yes.

I can understand people getting kicks from riding like that. It'd be one hell of an adrenalin rush!

wonder if they're dead yet?

[R6_kid]

i love it how that woman in the i-team video says "i knew i was gonna die" but she's sure as hell standing there right in front of the news camera! :Pokey:

[R6_kid]

Used to be a time when a vid like this would have been praised with people admitting they wish they could ride like that.

wouldn't mind being able to ride like that... at a trackday, with a fair few more wheelies in there too.

[mynameis]

First sound comment with fair judement as opposed to "I've got bigger balls" comments so far :)

But leaving that behind, they are still idiots.

[DingoZ]

Should be made into a "WHAT NOT TO DO" video, pity it didn't end in blood or carnage, then it would really serve a purpose....

Still...Makes me glad I'm not aspiring to ride like that.

[Patch]

I second the not impressive vote - the oncoming car at the end looked a whole lot closer than what the truck was.

the big handful of brake was amusing, you even heard the rear wheel hitting the deck.

kinda reminds me of the odd KB ride (I've seen) actually.

[Blue Velvet]

Burn them!!

[Waxxa]

Looks like Laava and GTR Boys' riding to me. Similar to how they rode up north the other week :spanking:

[FruitLooPs]

Amen, that guy with the camera seriously needs some time on a smaller 2-stroke to learn to shift, overreving underevving jeez. clearly just relying on the power and being a lazy and somewhat dodgy prat, nearly lost the front at least once in that.

The truck moment, while iffy - wasn't as bad as some of those blind corners they were playing roulette on :bash: I've been a fair whack closer to the side of a truck oncoming, though not by choice :sweatdrop

The fellow up front seemed to have a much smoother riding style IMO. Still complete muppets, I hope they only take themselves out when the time comes. Or better yet take it to a racetrack.

That vid link is good, although some what dramatic at the start it seems to have some good info.

[Sofa]

Far out that looked freaky! Cant see myself riding like anything close to that ever!:gob:
