    Re: Bike or rider?

    What they don't show is rider having to do a valve adjustment after each run.

    VFR400s are really popular for that competition, wide powerband, no big hits, and SMOOOOV. Interesting to see that someone could de-tune the SXV to be usable.

    a great mix of bigger bikes in this one, including a ZRX:

    there's a funny shot at 0:22 of them all testing the wet track for traction

    Well, the bike helped, and it doesn't hurt that the kid weighs probably 90 lbs., but he's doing everything but spinning the bike like a top. I couldn't do it. The car stuff, couldn't do THAT either!

    Dunno how those tires hold air. Flight line concrete is rough stuff and he's smokin' em the whole way.

    That Ken Block stuff is cool as hell but there's no in hell it's Gymkhana.. it's drifting.

    Too bad we don't have gymkhana here.. with how nice those Japanese courses are it's obvious it's huge there if they've got custom parking lots.

    I remember my jaw dropping to the floor at an MSF ERC course.. the instructor dragged the pegs on his VFR around one of the U-turns. Crazy fast and crazy tight. He'd have been really good at this. He only needed about 1/2 the box to do it.
