Awesome skill with two-up on the Goldwing. I wonder what the passenger was thinking during this chase? Thanks!

They pulled over at end of flip but cut Gideon off. Would have liked to see what was said.

Whatever it is, it's better in the wind.
On a road less traveled.

Unfortunately, the way they are passing is very common in Germany as in most European countries, however, some as I experienced with the French will have the courtesy to wait for you to acknowledge them and then will pass with a thank you waive with the right leg. In Germany many will just blow past you as the clip shows and do not care if its in a turn or not. In my opinion stupid and extremely dangerous, and the fatalities rates every year show it too especially in the spring.

It's all fun.,... but if the guy ahead of me is packing a passenger, I personally would not turn the ride into a race and try and push/pressure him trying to make a pass. If he's alone, OK, let him risk his life. But with a back-seater, her life is now in play and I'd want no part in causing a crash out.
I'll say it again, the gals that ride on back (in spirited riding) have more guts than any rider I know. All the risk, and none of the control. (And way more passengers get killed/maimed than drivers).
The only way I could ride on back that way is unconscious, and tied down. If I woke up, I'd jump off (or put my gun in the riders ear and suggest he let me off).

no thanks, I like to see the scenery, not run into the scenery. I do not mind a tad bit fast, but scrapping pegs like that often is not my cup of tea see not much enjoyment in it if I cannot see the scenery views vs. just the road ahead of me.

I enjoy a nice brisk ride, but that is a bit too brisk for me - even without a passenger....

It looked like he was riding at 10/10ths (for him). Not smooth, over the line, and using his brakes.
Sumpin' to prove I guess.

13 times over the center line in curves alone. The vid is a few years old. Buy the miss matched plastic he is only a lucky rider.

Yeah, I don't think I was that aggressive of a rider even in my 20's and 30's.  |

Yeah, I don't think I was that aggressive of a rider even in my 20's and 30's. yes, and thus one of the many reasons on why you have lived so long, good thinking! I have ONLY twice gone in any type of vehicle over 100 mph see NO need to do it on a legal hwy. road ever again. One was in my dad's caprice classic under age 20 doing 115 mph or so and my old honda magna in my early 20's did 105 mph was fast enough for me. Am sure I could handle 120 mph on my Valk, but why is the key???  Several 85-90 mph but even that is questionable even in an 75-80 mph speed zone. I will not be doing the autobohn (spelling?) anytime soon. |
