Good reason not to use the road as a race track.

You may bust your balls. It's worth watching the whole video for the best effect.

yeah, go sit in that boulder that has a deep cliff next to it... 

if he had been on a gs, that curve would have been no problem.


at least he hit the boulder and didn't go off the cliff.

HOLY SHITE!

Yeah those guys don't realize just how close they came to losing their life. I'll stick with my conservative/semi-spirited riding unless I hit the track.

"gazza" and the other rider are on the staff of Fast Bikes (or Performance Bike), a UK magazine. They do these kinds of videos of bike tests all the time. The only ones I've seen though, involve them crashing.

all ex racers totally out of control on the street...

Comment #1:

Ducs sound awesome uncorked in the wild.

Comment #2:

"just what you need... when you only broke your back two months ago"?  ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!!  Talk about a serious inability to learn from the past!!!

sounds like "just what he needs" is a new brain 

For a minute there I thought I was watching a road-race, until I saw oncoming traffic and bicyclists.  At that point, those two lost all sympathy I was prepared to offer.  I'm glad they survived, good for them... but at the same time I hope they stoopid themselves right out of the sport next time so they can't continue endangering everyone and everything on the road.

Well...  Some people, I guess...

I like the "ball dent" on the tank.
