thats crazy right there. i had a similar mental image passing a transport truck in a two lane corner today in my truck, thinking of how bad a low side would be getting run over by a trailer tire

The music on this video (and all his others) make them absolutely unwatchable for me.

Trackdays? Thats just playing dress-up like you're a racer. You could just go out and really BE a racer.

Terrible!

Can you imagine if this guy lost his life?

The track is much safer. It's not perfect but I'll take it any day over trying to get my kicks on the street.

Personally, I like playing dress-up more.

Oh...we're talking about motorcycles, aren't we.

I'll give you a couple of reason's for NOT being nor wanting to be a racer: I'm 65 y/o, I have an artificial leg, I have no depth perception AND I know my ability and limits. So, doing trackdays and staying within my limits is important to me.

It's funny that the repost thread has more action than the original post of it......
