wow. I don't think I could do it. As it is I almost always have both hands on the handlebars. I couldn't imagine always having only 1 hand on the bars.

The best part of that video is how he's all about the bikes, how they work, and what he did to modify. Very, very cool.

What a totally inspiring guy. Rock on baby.
This kind of spirit has the power to influence others in a very positive way.
He makes me want to just try harder and be more grateful in my life overall.

Yeah, when he was younger (heck, he's still a kid!) he bought scrap bikes and rebuilt them and sold 'em off for profit. He knows infinitely more than I'll ever know!

The only reason he owns a car (truck actually) is to get the race bike from home to the track! :lol:

That's damn impressive. He's a tougher man than me that's for sure.
I wonder if he continues to ride on the street or is it mostly track stuff.
Either way, mad props to you Brett for getting back on the bike :thumbsup:.
