    crazy...

    Comforting to know that if they can sustain that, the models should be pretty reliable on the road.

    Didn't that first guy seem to have beautiful balance and weight distribution etc. Lovely to watch!!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    Yes, the way he moved on the bike was indeed 'lovely to watch' as you put it...

    Should be some interesting roads down there. We saw one of the offical dakar Landrovers in Ushuaia Argentina last month (bottom of South America), possibly an organiser or road scout.
    Hopefully the riders will be do part of ruta 40 on the gravel sections , some quite cool sections of road. (apart from the strong winds)
