Crazy rider in rain

A nice set of Pilot Road 2's would stop him sliding around like that

It is that mans world, we just live in it.

The Angels are coming. From all write ups they look like a damned good tyre. They'll be landing here end of June. I was holding out for these but tyre wear got the better of me and i went to the PR2's. Would have loved to have tried the Angels.

There are some video's and pics which look interesting.

for the record he went ,,,second, ie someone else was faster , he probably lost a lot of time going onto the main straight ....

Balls though Donington is slippery and I have my favourite spot just before start finish line of r that very reason

That's pretty damn cool.

There's another video out there of some famous-ish motocross rider who takes a superbike to the track and does a fair amount of drifting in the dry...

That was me on my hyosung

[aewilliam]

I can drift in the wet.

But usually...ok ALWAYS...end up on my arse

How DOES one learn that stuff? Not for the sake of drifting and getting hot chicks, but to keep one's arse off the road in the wet should the back wheel starts doing the foxtrot while the front is still doing the waltz?

PRACTICE locking up/leaning too much/giving too much exit throttle, in the wet, at a racetrack...?

I've watched that video 4 times...but i really should go to sleeps...will have to dream about riding a slippery bum with good rubber then... WITHOUT any of Metalor's man-love desires

He ended up going on to win that race to - well race 2...
