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.

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.
