I'm sure alot of you guys already knew about this guy, but this is the first time seeing a video of him in action... gotta be a friggin amazing trip.

YouTube - R1 Enduro

Absolutely incredible. People have enough trouble doing that journey on an eduro bike, let alone a supersport...

That's awesome! He must have been stuck A LOT!

[JeffL]

Awesome, remember reading about that, but never seeing any video or anything of it. Nice!

I saw a little clip about that journey on Speed IIRC, he said he didn't really have to do a lot of repairs during the trip. I think the worst thing he had to replace was the clutch.

Also, that shot of the thing spewing water after the river crossing is nuts. They showed that on the same program and he said it didn't give him any trouble after that. Absolutely insane...

<3 Fuel injection.

cool as hell, what kind of tires????

very cool when he comes out of the river and cranks the bike till water comes out then starts

I once rode my R1 for 6 hours. It was indescribably painful.

This guy is an animal for sitting on that thing for that long.
