    I never much liked sport bikes. The knee down technical stuff, I read some articles sometimes, and watch videos, but I usually don't give too much thought to sport bikes.. Until I saw this video..




    So that's what you do on the track.. looks like a lot of fun.

    I NEED my own race track!! Argh, Americans / America sucks when it comes to grass roots motorsports. If you don't like trundling around left-hand corners for 2 hours, then you're out of luck...

    Incredible! Some of the clips remind me of Johnny Knoxville and Jackass movies.

    I must be finally getting old. I like to hoon around now and then but most of that was just stupid, immature showing off.
    Much more impressed by cross-country, real skill there.

    There are some reals skills on display, and it's an entertaining video, but it is a little too silly and dangerous.
    Richardktm, there is a local country area kart track that the boss lets me go on for 1 yuan a lap. Problem is most of these beginner suitable kart tracks have tire barriers around the edge which obstructs a bike and are too narrow.
    Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.

    ZMC888 one rmb for a lap is amazing value haha i don't think my local track will go for that, they charge 60rmb for a slow fourstroke kart with a 160 honda engine and 130rmb for a 100cc 2stroke, i usually spend about 20 mins picking a good one and straightening the steering and checking tyre pressures before a session, the four strokes do a lap in about 50 secs the two strokes lap in under 40 secs, great fun and quite a handful with a sharp powerband i likee!
    Is that where you got your kneedown picture taken??

    Think of this video as something of an antidote to the Five Stooges item that Slabo posted! The commentary is a bit overwrought, but it's a fun video nonetheless -- and very well produced. (You'll need a veepeeyen inside the GFW.)
