That thing sounds like what was buzzing in the bedroom a couple nights ago, finally got the little bugger.
Just wondering.....at that speed, what does a person do if they suddenly forget a curve and you have an "oh crap" moment? Maybe flap your arms real fast, see if it helps soften the landing?

I can't see that fast, let alone try to stay on the road at those speeds. |

ehh, I ride my F6B that fast..  I would love to see that race sometime in person. Just wonder though, you only get to see a very small bit of the race. |

That boy was movin'. He must have the eyes of an eagle I don't know how he could go that fast and negotiate the transitions from extreme sunlight to the shady sections. That boy has talent, I loved hearing his bike react to the downshifts and how good it sounded when he was full throttle too.

Yep John McGuinness can certainly ride... Holds the current track record for the Isle of Man TT with an average speed of over 132mph!!!
And I'm not sure he can be considered a boy anymore, he's 44!

Pucker time in my recliner. I even found myself tilting my head around corners.

The truth is, the difference between the first video (no git off), and the second video (git off), at those speeds, and on that course is no more than a quarter second of miscalculation, a touch too much gas, or a touch late on the brakes into a corner, or a hundred other things.
Then you too can be the rag doll bouncing down the mountain.
