    Incredible.

    Great stuff. The only thing that could have made this better would have been seeing him get flashed by a radar camera and imagining the reaction when the police saw the photo.

    Amazing, but sadly, I don't think he'll be alive to tell his grandchildren about his adventures

    On the subject of apexing.........

    Can't say he always used the same line I would take on either my sportbike, or in my Porsche, but then I don't ever plan on using my forehead as a 5 mph bumper either.

    What do you do when you feel the need to yank on the e-brake ????????

    Use a little more elbow ?

    Or just dig in with all back 10 and hope something anchors ?????

    Thumbs up No need for the Darwin Award here !

    I will have to admit, when I first saw this video, I nearly pithed mythelf as I watched him try and scrub off speed as he approached the two-up touring bike .

    I thought there it all goes.....all that expensive hardware, skateboard wheels, labor, suit made of chain-mail .....possibly forged titanium. Scattered about the mountainside as so much flotsam and jetsam lying off line on big city freeways.

    And here's this guy , stuck forehead first on the kickstand , towed headlong to his next adventure.

    Except he won't know the ending of that ride.

    Glad we were spared that !!!!!!!!!!

    Makes street luging seem like a sport for weenies. Truly amazingly not long for this world.

    Holy crap. Reminds me of the kid going down Rabbit Ears Pass towards Steamboat laying down on a skateboard at night.....the woman who ran over him thought she had hit a racoon.
