and I guess if you can afford a 'wing, you can afford to use it...

if you need to ask... you can't afford it

That's called a "Thread Merge" grasshopper.

Cheers for the repost Waylander. Those flat-sixes sound awesome. I bet the Goldwing Undercarriage Preservation Society would be less than impressed though...

Actually, what gets me is why does he either pop the clutch or downchange out of the corner ? Just a little weird cause they ain't a 250 two-stroke.

That's funny cos I thought that the noise was from the bike that was doing the filming. Watch again and the scrapping sounds seem to happen when the camera is in the corner, not the goldwing.

That was my impression too. If you listen carefully you can tell from the timing that the sound comes from the following bike.
Awesome riding, awesome road.
Who said Goldwings couldn't handle?

Gaaah.

The dude with the camera is riding a Goldwing too.

There was a guy in Palmerston North years ago called Ken De Kleen,who punted a Gold Wing around like that,bloody scary to follow,with sparks & shit flying everywhere,he also used to put a sidecar on,but thats another story

I'd love to see a couple of Harley try corner like that... Oh wait, what's this?

Nice how that driver stopped to rubber-neck then drove on leaving a downed biker to it. No doubt you're proud of him because the biker rode a harley.

Who said I was proud of him? All I'm saying is that not all bikers know how to ride properly, but looking at the makeup of a bike, sportbike vs goldwing vs cruiser, which one is gonna get round those corners better?

I'm not mocking Harley's here... I'm sure they're perfectly fine

Bike doesn't matter a much as you seem to think.

Yea a asportsbike may corner better due to shape, suspension ect, ect... but that acounts for nothing if the rider has no skill.
