Motorcycle vids
So many good vids out there, thought I'd start a thread specifically for motos. Not necessarily racing, either

Re: Motorcycle vids
nice... have seen the supermoto vid before, great stuff.
Just a quick couple of favs, the first one of a bloke who was supposedly an ex-gp racer. His bike control - backing it in and gassing it between gaps - blows me away. Entertaining, but I don't know how sustainable riding like that in traffic is
[youtube] [/youtube]
And the second vid... I dunno. It reminds me a lot of when I came off a couple of years ago. The sounds, the suddeness, the impact... I don't really know why I like it; maybe it serves as a reminder to be more careful (and not to just pounce on the rear brake), or it may be simply morbid fascination... (no blood or guts, riders both walk away)

Just spent half-an-hour watching vids of those enclosed bikes. While I'm not convinced, I'd still take one for a test-ride

The enclosed bikes don't really do anything for me .

Re: Motorcycle vids
nice one... so many different disciplines, I wonder how interchangeable the skills are? Could a GP star be competitive on trials or hill-climbs etc?
As for nice-sounding bikes, this gets my vote. Looks the shit too, a real bad mofo

Re: Motorcycle vids
Sweet Norton .
I think quite a few of the GP riders are good at dirt track/supermoto racing , it sort of relates to sliding a GP bike around .
I'd be fairly sure they wouldn't risk having a go on something like this though .

I have a joke for you. I have a prediction that you are going to walk into a bar, my prediction was wrong and your wallet is gone.

Re: Motorcycle vids
great stuff ate 'em up down Conrod. Shame they don't race there any more. There's a bloke at work who was there for the riots, man of many stories
As for the the Britten - yeah! Incredible to sit on it and see it up close. Check it out if you're ever in Christchurch
