I'm not sure how it makes the TT look lame though?

That looks like much more skill, although arguably less brave because the of the lack of traffic? ____________________ will never give up his CG. I look at my fuel gauge more as a progress bar than a fuel gauge.

Its not really a patch on the TT but still pretty crazy, they also have traffic to contend with.
I'm sure in one of those Greek vids I read in the comments that two of the riders were national level racers. ____________________ Yamaha FZR400RR 3tj

Why is it so hard to believe?
on a few sections of road i know very well through an industrial estate there's a place where i even learn't to do it.
you all seem to believe that only the people in 'cool' video's can do stuff and just because i'm quiet on here and don't whore my bike / video's it makes it hard to believe, so now i have to prove myself
but if you really want i'll get one of my mates to follow me as he's just bought one of those cheapy mini camera's but even then, because it's the internets you'd still critisize  ____________________ 2010 Ducati 848 Dark

Bar the wheelies and 'backing it in' crap, I don't see that riding as particularly dangerous or stupendously quick either. On the continent you have less traffic and superior roads to be able to ride like that.  |

You're not getting it I guess. If you rode like that on your "normal" rideouts you'd be dead or maimed right now. Unless you're claiming to have perfect even tarmac everywhere you ride? No manhole covers? No patches? No rough stuff? Nothing to ever snatch your tyre? It's all race-track smooth? Or maybe you only do it on those specific bits of road you know are perfectly smooth/safe etc, in which case it's not "like a normal rideout" at all, is it.
Not even racers do it into every bend. And the Greek chaps, they only do it on the wide smooth bends. So much for UK roads, huh?
Trying to give the impression every rideout you go on is like that video is...how can I put it...cobblers. Crap road surfaces, narrower roads, more traffic.
But feel free to prove me wrong and post a video, of the Greek length, at their speeds and lean-angles, backing it in here and there, and I'll eat something. ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

A "pic with the rear kicked out abit" isn't quite going to make the nut, is it. Not going to be in the same ballpark as your "normal rideout", not when you compare it to the video of the Greek geezers.  ____________________ "There's the horizon!

Trying to big myself up?
it's a internets forum, i don't think so. but it's funny how people seem to react and in Welshys case, talk utter shit they have no clue about
i've already agreed our roads are terrible which is why i pick my roads to fuck about on, i'm suprised you of all people would take what i said so literally
