Not saying good, not saying bad just wanted to share. Before you quit at lease watch the first three minutes.

If you watch their posture, they're intentionally backing in a sport bike as if it were a supermoto:P I fing love it.







However this behavior cannot be condoned for obvious safety reasons.

That is awesome!

A little too close to becoming a hood ornament once or twice though.

Irresponsible is only the beginning. Take it to the track. Sure would like a lesson or two on "backin' it in" like that, though. Getting a DR650 supermoto conversion next week...

Thanks, I needed that!

17 minutes in--enter a real supermoto guy!

Here's the two Torque did of us last year, no where near as crazy, but some might enjoy it as well.

Stupid on the street, still fun to watch though. I wonder how good these guys could be on a track?

Sliding on a knee and dragging his hand like he's on a snowboard or water skiing? Wow.

Definitely don't condone, but how cool is that(!?!?!?!?!?!)? 'Least they're wearing the proper gear

Patches... looks real to me... unless they somehow got a cadaver and shredded it and lay it on the ground there...

The most Expensive DOT Snell Approved Helmet and Leathers-Body Armor Suit won't help you if you hit something that does not move, like a Tree.
If you hit another vehicle head-on collision it is the speed you are going plus the other vehicle speed. I know this from Experience, Not Good.
It's great to show your skills, just do it on the track. There is a young guy here that thought he had skills doing a slow burn-out when for some unforeseen reason the bike caught traction and jumped did a tank slapper. He is now Paralyzed from the chest down.

I did notice that there is one riding boot, and one gym shoe sitting among the carnage.

Bunch of idiots if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, I'm guilty of doing a lot of stupid stuff on the road, but at least stay on your own side of the road. Sometimes you need to pass slow moving cars, but not in a blind corner. Wrapping yourself around a tree is one thing, going through someones windshield and possibly killing them and their family is another.

Thanks for posting this, it makes me realize what a dummy I can be at times.

We have a few meat-filled wheel chocks every weekend in So CA. Being the most impressive street racer doesn't help when oncoming traffic is answering a "CRITICAL" cell call in mid-turn.

Ya can't get away with spending that much time on the wrong side of the road for ever.

That is beyond aggressive, its suicide.

It's just a matter of time.
It'd be fun to watch though... as long as I didn't have to help clean up afterwards.
