Don't try this at home!!!

The old guy is wily and he has done this before. But, wow that's an ugly Harley....

There are at least two reasons why the fellow with CBR1000RR gets beat. The first is that he should launch differently. He needs to see about 9 grand on the tach, then quickly and smoothly slip the clutch out at the edge of tire traction while pegging the throttle. It's fairly easy to say, but it requires practice.

The second reason the Honda gets beat is that it is a short race. The old, crappy Harley beats him off the line because it has bags-O-torque off the bottom. That makes it easy to just ride off the line for a good start and in a short race like this one, it's all about the start.

....But it is a very funny video and the bearded, old fart has an unusually, twisted sense of German humor. ... Maybe all Germans have a strange sense of humor....?
