...,I guess the other ones are riding mopeds.
Ducati 848 onboard video - Oulton Park - Mike 'Spike' Edwards (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nnsTs_G2pU#normal)
Apparently he's a British national champion.
I wonder how 'stock' his bike is; I guess pretty standard as the ducati challenge doesn't allow a lot of changes except for suspension internals.
He seems to be breaking pretty deep into those corners, really skilled guy bet he was having a blast though.
Those are some insane riding skills... [bow_down]
And he was riding in the a group :o
Made them look like C riders.
Damn.
Videos like that screw up my shopping plans.
Is the steering normally that crazy during aggressive riding?
Wish I had skills like that!!!

Yes ;D
At least, it is on my 1098. Happens when I get up in the rev range - there's more of a top end rush with the Testa Evo motors than older Duc motors I've been exposed to.
That rider is really impressive. What I noticed most was how smooth he is. I doubt he's even at a 90% pace (for him) in this video.

Rumblestrips (or other bumps), headshake, and wheelies can cause the bars to flop around a bit.

Yup, awesome throttle control. I dont think he ever as much as missed a blip.
Wow, this guy is really impressive. All that fork shaking WITH a dampener.
This guy has huge balls and loads of skill.
You think that headshake is bad. Try it without the damper. Its all over the place.
Wasn't that a demo day ride?
These type of videos scare the crap out of me. I guess I'm not track material. [bow_down]
:-\ I get excited; wonder what that means ;D
It's worth spending 13 minutes just watching his right hand. Skilz. [bow_down]
