No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

drill sgtSo sorry to be a party pooper but some may consider this to be pretty cool but does not melt my butter... things like these actions encourage others who might not be so gifted or having the right equipment to try these type of things and end up getting hurt or damageing their equipment.. ................................... drill sgt.

sig2392When a teenager I thought stuff like that was great.
At my current age, OLD, it is just stupid.

Oh just stop it. I find it completely bizarre that anyone would even feel the need to say that.

shovelheadProbably twenty or more years ago Michigan State University offered a motorcycle riders course giving civilians the same training as motor officers.
I always wanted to take that but time constraints kept it from happening. While I still ride I doubt that I could complete that class today at my age. Though doing figure eights on a 800# Harley bagger fork stop to fork stop would be fun still today.

It’s chick think and it’s permeated into a lot of men at this point. I think it can be blamed on the marginalization of men and male behavior for the last 50 years or so. Or possibly the large amount of estrogen introduced into our bodies by plastics and terrible foods. Credit to adam carolla for coining the term.

Same with lots of activities, drill. You should see some of the dirt bike riders and racers!
In her case she's performing on a closed lot (not out on a highway) and she's had many get-off's in honing her skills.
Pol is impressive on a Tenere 700. I would suggest "others who might not be so gifted" be realistic of their ability to not attempt this, especially starting about the .30 mark.

All this stuff is way over my skill level.

People who are even interested in getting into stunting, know you don't just grab any street bike and go at it. These bikes are set up specifically for this, just look at the size of that rear sprocket for instance.

V-Tail On Any Sunday is a movie made in 1971, documenting various types of motorcycle riding and competition.
One segment showed a very talented young woman, a trials rider. She balanced the motorcycle (maybe a Bultaco, I'm not 100% positive) while she turned the engine off, did a headstand on the cycle, lowered herself down, kick-started it, and rode away.

CooksterI watched that movie two or three years after it came out in 1971 when I was maybe 13 or 14 or so and it is what inspired me to want to ride motorcycles.
After graduating college, moving away from home and starting a job, my first ‘big’ purchase was a 1983 Honda CX65O Custom in black (purchased from coworker).

This is the first time I've ever heard someone having a problem w/ this stuff on a closed course. It's should be no different than racing on a track.
I saw this on yootube a few days ago and was impressed. I would never dream of doing any of that but I'll watch it.

patwShe has some impressive videos. If I did/tried any of the things she did/does, it wouldn't be on purpose and it would end badly.

MikeinNCWonder what the budget is for new tires?

Shes probably sponsored at this point. Shes been doing it for years and has very impressive skills.

TXLeThat's Sarah Letizo, French stunt rider. Very well know in the movie industry IIRC.
