What do you mean, an *****? I take offense to that! I drive extremely defensively.....After all, if you give it some thought, once you've passed everyone they can't run into you!!!
Learned that in an Advanced Motorcycle Driving Course I took at Texas A&M.....
But this type of riding is definately not for the bigginer,,,,it takes years and years to able to have the skills to ride like this...

Rumor has it that the rider was killed several months after that vid was shot...

I've done a wheelie going well over a 100 mph all the way from Dallas to Waxahacie, with my wife on the back!!!!
Can't say I did it on purpose....... But, I told her before I let her ride on it again, she's gonna have to go on a diet !!!

In the early 80's the bikes that competed for power & sport touring ability were the Suzuki 1100E and the Yammy FJ1(I think that's what they called it). The Suzy had GREAT mid-range power & was designed to not wheely easily. The Yammy had huge power but only in the high RPM range.It wheelied easy.The reason I loved the Suzy was you could hammer it corner blasting without it jumpin up on you. a A dangerous thing in the twisties. This vidio got me wondering if the FJR wheelies TOO easily. Just wonderin.I ordered a FJR but haven't ridden one.

That is not an FJR. Redline on the feejer is a bit below 12,000 rpm's.

Gulag,
My buddy that rides an R-1 thinks it may be an FZ1, the naked version of the R-1.

downn2 : I guess I have advanced riding skill cause I can ride like that and at times I do, when needes. One thing I will agree with if there not in front or beside you, than you are in a safe zone for riding and elminating them from harming you.
But what I take offense to is you talking about a persons weight and using it to justify your actions on the bike. sham sham on you

wyosteve, thanks. But the instruments on the video bike look like FJR's don't they? All that guy needed to get to his 72 Virgins in the Sky was for some cager to move just a little into his path while he was lane splitting.Or open a door. There's a time and place for spirited riding, but the beyond-your-control risks multiply at a rapid rate where this ***** did it.He has an immense belief in history.Wouldn't surprise me if he's dead.
