Did you see the passenger's head snap around?

Put a turbine engine on his back and now we're talking.

Watching the body motion, he has given a lot of thought to how to corner.
Which is good considering what he was doing.

Wow.

Weak skill set. He needs to follow some club racers for a while.
These road roller boys think they know it all!

Way better than hitting a stretch of chipseal.

It's kind of a small point, but I think this is a good illustration of
how you and I differ.

Looking at that, I would not think he had "given a lot of thought" on
how to corner. He would have simply gone and done it; finding out
what worked by doing.

Did you give a lot of thought on how to turn a motorcycle before you
got on one?

Don't tell me. I suspect the answer is yes. ;)

Edit: *fresh* chipseal and the proverbial chicken.

I know it's not in this contry or he's be in shorts, tank top. no helmet and
flip ... Well I guess he couldn't wear flip flops.

Dunno for sure, but from the scenery, the cages, and the number of two-
up sport-touring motorcycles on the road, I'd assume somewhere in
Europe.

Also, the website that hosted the video was mostly in French.

"The Haslital lies in the geographical centre of Switzerland between
Interlaken and Lucerne in the eastern Bernese Oberland. The Valley is
embedded in the famous alpine passes of Grimsel, Susten, Grosse
Scheidegg and Brünig.

Family friendliness, diversity in leisure and sporting activities as
well as cultural and traditional awareness are characteristic of our
holiday region in the heart of Switzerland."
