I love watching videos like this. My life is worth way more than the guys in these videos. So I can only live vicariously through them. Their riding skills surpass mine by leaps and bounds. Their judgement, however, is obviously lacking. Before long, this rider will be dead and buried.

In my rider group, we have a saying:

There are old riders, and there are bold riders, but there are no old, bold riders.

Ponder that for a moment. the wisdom will creep up on you. Cross my heart.

Wow, kept expecting to see the bike way out ahead and the camera flipping backwards. Someone doesn't care if they show up for work the next day.

While not a motorcycle, it is the Grand Daddy of all street racing videos, Ferrari 275 across Paris, 1976

Who will be first to recreate it in an Elio!.

My original post showed a sport bike in highly dangerous manovers.

I thought there would be "general" post including cruisers, as example.

No body has one?

I have two Kawasaki KZ1300s which have water cooled inline six cylinder engines.

I also have two Honda CBX1000 with their air cooled inline six cylinder engines.

Am I the only person with a motorcycle?

OK I'll chime in. My hobby is buying totaled BMW motorcycles, mostly K1200LT, and rebuilding them.
This was my first one.

and Two more LTs a F650GS a K1200RS a K1200S a R1150GS a R1200GS. I think that's all.

I don't get to ride very often, usually Sunday afternoon, but when I do I play an on line riding game called Tag o Rama. Found on ADVRider.com It's tons o fun and gets me out of my normal riding area. The best tag ("tag" is what you are looking for on the ride) I found was a plywood cut out of "bigfoot" I road all day lookin for that thing! But while lookin for it I found another one! Yep that is where I placed the next tag!

So, that is what I do. I Rebuild then ride lookin for, what ever and where ever, the currant tag is.
