So what do you know about what is coming around the bend on the street? Someone else with a key in their ignition over the yellow line? Yehaaa. That guy has skills, but like those vegas casinos, the house always eventually wins
Siskiyousam you don't know, but death is always stalking us every day from the day we are born, you don't know what the sisters have put in your web so ride hard & enjoy yourself.
Please! Trolls always have to criticize. It would crush your ego to compliment someone, right? That's because you are envious that you don't have those skills.
This dude is absolutely shredding. I remember seeing this two years ago and lo and behold was able to find it with a simple search "harley shredding" We can all see that he is totally rad, but how about the recovery too!? Many a squid - heck - EXPERIENCED rider would high-side after that big a slide 1:00 in. Dude gives whole new meaning to peg grinding. Bravo.
I've seen Harleys do some wild stuff.......... Like wheelie........... Or backflip............ But I have never, ever seen a Harley do THAT. That was just Buck Fuckin' Wild. All other words fail me right now.
thats crazy! ive seen this before but never really noticed how he had his bike set up. its slammed in the back with extended forks in front. no wonder he was scraping so much. kinda shits all over the needing tall shocks to be able to take dynas around corners. makes me wonder what he could have done with some ground clearance in back
Yeah, I think the Harley guy held his weight (pun intended because of Harley's heft) but the rider behind him was staying behind him intentionally. Which isn't a bad thing. Passing around those corners could be a deathwish on public roads.
Honestly though I think some people like the bigger bikes exactly because of that. A sport bike has to be pushed so much faster and harder to get to any sort of level where it doesn't feel easy once you've gained a certain level of ridership. I'd rather get the feeling of a challenging ride at 30-60 through the canyons like this rather then 80-100.
Balls of steel, definitely, keeping in mind his bike and kinda bottomless void to the left. Btw, someone below complained bout lack of no-equip-complaints. ZOMG NO PROTECTIVE GEAR WE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!111oneoneeleven Here you go :)
harleys can do that? bet he didnt have a kick stand when he pulled up. still holding the other bike up but. nice riding on the harley, i havent had a giggle like that in a while. respect.
Right? This guy was killing it! All these Internet Moto Racers hating on real skill means they don't know how to identify proper technique. This guy could no doubt kill it on a super sport too, these skills aren't exclusive to any particular kind of bike. Besides aren't we all supposed to be brothers on two wheels? Waging brutal road rage warfare against our larger and more numerous enemy "the cagers"?
Its not your life.. Why do you care? How bout splitting lanes over the speed limit or simple tripling the limit.. That posses an ACTUAL threat woth crying over, but of course your all for that right?
In fairness that Harley dude can ride (even if dangerously so) I would stay behind him just for entertainment value of his riding tbh. We all know if Harley’s were groundbreaking handling they would be in the world GP, but are not. This was true entertainment, but no.! Don’t start glopping saying Harley is the best pls.
I would be curious to know what the Honda rider would do if the Harley rider went down? If it were I following that closely, I'd probably crash right along with the Harley rider--very little space and time to react.
That dude on the Harley was good but cut it close more than a few times! He was riding a big twin, not a Sportster which made it all the more difficult to throw it into the corners! All it would have taken was a few stray pieces of gravel and it would've been all over.
Take a sport guy throw him on the Harley wont evan come close. The Harley guy road sport bikes prior and all types, dirtbikes etc etc... Put the Harley guy on your Honda and he would rip anyone there. He was just saying, I know my shit Again put the light streetbike guy on the Harley, clueless. Put the harley guy on the streetbike, no competition
Practice, practice practice. I'd be more likely to be trying it going UP the hill. I had a downhill crash on my ATV and broke my arm. only gonna get squirrelly going uphill from here on out.
No. Rule #1, wear gear. Rule#2, keep it between the lines. While you may be having fun today, you will shred the hell out of your fragile human skin when you either hit the rocks or an oncoming car. Buy some gear, a helmet and gloves are the bare minimum.
I'm not sure why everyone is so baffled/impressed by this. He's riding that Harley exactly the same as someone would on a very lowered sportbike or naked. Try as he might, his cornering potential is still very low as the Fireblade following him is almost idling in comparison to what it's capable of. It's an unusual sight for sure as most Harley riders are boomers that just want to parade float around a strip of bars and can't ride for shit, but I'm not seeing anything here really that crazy other than that he's willing to push so hard he almost loses it like 10 times from dragging the pegs.
I'd love, repeat L-O-V-E to see some dipsh#@ w/ more money than ability laugh about a Sportster being a 'girl's bike' and how his Breakout will run over an 883 anyday follow this guy or equal rider on a 'lowly' Sporster on this road. So much for a $22,500 motorcycle being 'so much faster' than $9,500 motorcycle.
