Haha Goop, not only a repost recently, but is an old video ~3 years ago. Pretty awesome skills regardless though... Wish I could that stuff. Looks like he's doing it all in 1st gear to boot!
 
He is good. I got a good laugh at this. He is riding, sitting straight in the seat and leaning the bike over. I just watched another vid a few posts up of people riding in the canyons, sticking their feet out and hanging off the bikes with hardly any lean angle at all.

it sure separates a good rider from a Squid eh?

Totally different circumstances. The whole point of leaning off the bike is getting the same turning radius WITHOUT having to lean the bike as far over, thus increasing the contact patch of the tires to the ground, providing great traction.
 
Look at those head turns! He wouldn't be able to do that without turning his head and looking where he needs to go.

The bike needs the dual headlight mod.

I agree with you for ON THE TRACK ! On the road it is Squidly. :thumbup:

Riding to the point that you NEED to do this on the street is certainly squidly. Doing it all the time for the sake of muscle memory g-d forbid you suddenly really need to tuck down for a turn or do track days, no so squidly. Practice makes perfect.
