Holy Sheite! That gent has es grande cojones'! I'd watched the POV of Don Canet (Cycle World) riding a CBR1000R
(you know how testy Bruno gets when you're late......)

Actually Don was riding a Ducati Multistrada. Watching both this one and Don's with his loss of traction, truly does show the skill and cajones these guys have.

Geez, he attacks those corners like...

Neihart in a pie pantry

Fairlaner with a box of free smokes

Old Michael with tray full of sacramental wine

Don't forget Don, at an all-you-can-eat Mexican restaurant!
You know, isn't that how we see ourselves riding twisties? I mean, we know we aren't pushing to the limit, but feel we look like that when doing it.

That was fun to watch, thanks for posting it up!

Exactly one year ago I rode my FJR up that same road. I took my time, riding up to about 50 percent when traffic permitted: that road is terrifying. Road racing takes guts, I get that. But racing on THAT road? One mistake and you're a dead man. I'm thinking, brave? Confident? or Crazy?

I'm thinking it takes all three to make it work.

Maybe that's why it takes so long to get our stuff done. JSNS ...
