When I can handle a bike like this I will know I am truly a great rider. This is amazing footage! It blows me away how slick the water makes the track - it looks like he's riding on ice in a few of the corners!

Reminds me of Randy Mamola back in the day.
That is a fellow that knows the limits of his tires very well.

Ive met Randy a couple times over the years.
He still can ride em don't kid yourself.
I watched Kevin Schwantz come up the hill from Ballacraine through Tinwald Mills on the back tire last year at the TT on the Isle of Man.
I was lucky enough to meet him at the motogp at Laguna as well. He is a true Gentleman!!

That Isle of Man is crazy - it'd be a rush to ride it like that, but it's amazing more guys aren't killed at that race - and I know lots have been (234 over the years, I think I heard somewhere).

In this vid I was noticing some riding going into the corners that almost looked like flattracking - sliding in with the front wheel steering the other way. Cool but scary!
