Heh, looks like fun, wish we had something like that around here...

hey Vector talk to Zootech about deals gap. He ran it on his mean streak last year.

There are plenty of roads like that down in colorado.

That guy on the super moto was pretty freaking fast. The cameraman had trouble keeping up with him LOL

I just cringe when those motard guys stick out that leg let it catch road at 40 or 50 and watch that knee buckle and the machine high side or break it that dirt stuff doesn't work for me on the street but maybe that bike is real light and it won't be a problem I know balance wise it kinda works but man I have learned not to do that with a street machine

Riding the gap in real life is a thousand times better than the video. I went there last summer and it was great. It has to be the best rode in the southeast by far.

They've all got knee sliders on, it's a pretty popular thing to try to "get a knee down." And with proper equip it's rarely as dangerous as you make it out to be. That being said, I keep my knees in to the tank, both because I don't have sliders, and because I don't want to corner that hard .

A ride down the dragon... I hope this link works. 28 meg file.

That made me cringe too. That dude was sticking his foot out, not his knee. I'd hate to see what would happen if his boots got a good grip on the road at those speeds.

Brumbear... I think you need a new keyboard. There should be a comma and period key somewhere on the lower right.
