It's the rider, not the bike

Saw this video on another forum and it just made me realize, the 90% of what happens on the bike is based on the rider, not the bike. Notice how this guy can even drag his knee. Simply awesome!

Incredible riding! I would like to be able to ride half as good as that....

z_bassman · 06-08-2006, 09:41 AM

Oh yeah. That video's been around for a while now. Can't remember the guy's name.... That's shot at the Dragon and I believe the camera bike was a 'Wing too.

I'm exhausted just from watching the clip.

ForceV4 · 06-08-2006, 08:38 PM

That was great! I love it!!

Wow!

Hoologan · 06-09-2006, 08:09 AM

Crazy! You can hear the camera bike draggin parts in the corners.

Ahh so you've seen Yellow Wolff's (aka Ray Jeffers) Dragon Video huh... He comes from Boca Raton, Fl. and is now making videos for folks who want one of their ride through the dragon -- $60.00. He follows along and has a three camera set up on his bike. Rides up there everyday but Thursday as I recall.
Very talented rider!

Cheers!

That's great! Those boys (if they are boys) are definitely, "gittin' 'er done"!

One of my proudest moto moments was catching and passing a Mille Haga replica on 199 between Cave Junction and the coast on my K12LT, but now I can't even keep up with Markus and Ron.

Truth be told, the Aprilia rider wasn't very good (well, duh)

There's an wmv on my hard drive of a guy tearing up the Isle of Man on an R1100GS, passing Ducatis, etc. I'll see if I can find a link. He just flies!

Cheers,

Kurt
