i rode old hd choppers for years but this is way beyond me. i will say it is a cool video and the ol boy can sure handle that bike but he is headed for a bad wreck i'm afraid. he has no control on the vehicles around him and sooner or later disaster will happen.

His speed was excessive and wheelies can be considered as "exibition of speed" but splitting lanes is legal here in CA and the stoppies is fun. I only split lanes when the traffic slows down to about 30mph and I dont do stoppies anymore as rear shock (ohlins) is about 800$. Also the front tire can wash out on slick surfaces from you causing some other fairing damage$$$.
If that arse passed me between lanes of traffic like that around those curves if I caught up to him I'd shove that entire bike up his anus! People like that should be beaten on sight!

One of my best friend used to ride like that. Considered one of the best around my area. Wheels up at 85 mph and trucked pulled out in front of him right in front of my work place. His funeral was on my birthday. Left behind two young kids.

I doubt is she could do much with pelvis or back fractures. I bet her Dad applied a 2x4 to his rib, back, arms, and of course knees. Up here where I live we dont have many squid (wheelie, wreckless inconsiderate to passenger riders) but we have a WHOLE LOT of HD riders running off the road. They just are not made to handle twisties. That guy could have made that turn but he hit his brakes ( poser newbe mistake) which will stand the bike up and make it go straight. He should have leaned til it ground off all its chrome and he would of had a 50/50 chance. Nothing wrong with cruisers as I own one also, but you have to know its limitations and your riding skill.

I totally agree with that, one of the drills they made us do in riding school is stopping in turns, you have to stand the bike up before you apply the brakes. Also, the rider was not looking where he wanted to go. Notice his head was pointed straight toward the ravine, and your bike tends to follow your eyes. The other dude barely made the turn, you could see his bike wobble.

If she did that on purpose, she has bigger balls than me! No way I'd want to land bare armed, elbows first on asphalt at speed!
