    awesome, i posted this video a looooooooooooooong time ago and could never find it again.

    they are 'backing it in', basically overbraking on the rear, either by use of the rear brake of changing down a gear too many and having the engine braking do it... it is on purpose.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Man - crazy alright. Wonder how long they last before they wrap themselves around a pole or oncoming.

    Points the nose of the bike out of the corner sooner, so you can get on the gas faster. Just a little drifting baby

    OMG WTF SRSLY? They didn't even wave at the oncoming bikers @12:35!

    And they didn't use staggered formation either from 16:00 onwards.

    [p/t]

    But I think the close call @ 2:20 really says it all...

    Good riders, nice bikes, questionable judgement and decent amount of good luck is all it takes really.

    It seems to me that the guy on the camera bike in the long video doesn't seem to have that drifiting bit sorted - or am I the only one who think so? Seems he's provoking the rear to drift the wrong way most of the time and do it way too early.
    Anyone know if drifting into the corner, as opposed to out of the corner, is actually being done by anyone involved with serious racing? It seems to me it would defeat the purpose...

    I've never really got this using both sides of the road thing - doesn't it involve more challenge and require a greater degree of skill to stay on one side? I mean effectively straigtening out the corners by using the opposite lane kind of takes the fun out of it somewhat doesn't it?

    Same. Any time you loose traction and/or drop out of the power band is a bad thing. Looks cool though and leaves nice black lines

    It means you can go a fair whack faster, but when they are blind bends its fucking stupidity.

    I think either way, they are way, way, way better at riding than me.....

    Well yes obviously, however straight line speed isn't really that impressive

    well means you could be fully cranked over at higher speed because you have twice the road width, but doing it with traffic is intense.
