I bet none of yall can do this. If it's slow to load, let it play once and then it should work fine.

Dude on the green bike: "Uhh . . . I meant to do that."

Wonder what the real reaction of a newbie on his little "it's only 600cc" gixxer would be when this happens ?

Can you say RIP.

Looks like he was racing on a dirt track the way he slid around that corner!! :shock:

I'd say the rider's lack of panic-reaction just shows they are aware of their motorcycle.

Just turning corners on a coastline road early in the morning on my way to work I've fish-tailed crossing the painted lines (because of moisture on the road). I personally feel that my experience on dirt bikes and mountain bikes has helped me to be aware of my motorcycle.

And If you think for a minute that I enjoy any loss-of-traction experiences on my GSX-R600......

...... YOU'VE COMPLETELY LOST YOUR MIND!!!!

I sometimes feel the rear wheel shift when I slowly cross the painted lines on the freeway. Now I move across 'em quickly . And yes, I had a terrible experience in a curve early one morning w/the moisture when I really found out how life-saving it is to enter a curve slowly so that you don't go outside the lines when you go farther into the curve. Man, was it an eye-opener :shock: .

I was watching the discussion on this rider/bike on the 2nd DVD of the new Faster. It seems his bike has sooo many problems, and it always just seemed to have more power than it needed. Hence why he had so many issues keeping traction.
