    I have a street version of that bike. It is quite easy to ride in the rain thanks to steering dumper, some sort of slip control and a slipper clutch. His bike should be more advanced in all of those areas. Not saying that he is anything short from a rider from god, but alot of credit there should go to the bike as well.

    Fantastico!

    I'm sure at the end David Tardozzi says 'Who is that?'

    Maybe that's how he rides "in the wet".

    Clip was awesome to watch - aquaplaning wheelies Woohoo! As for japs having super powers, that may be, but the real test of superpowers would be seeing a group of them riding like that in those conditions. Somehow I think all their powers combined would keep their bikes apart.....

    I'm just going to have to watch that again!
