        I wish him long life and good health but......

        On my very best day, that wobble would have settled me right down immediately. That's an 10.0 on the pucker power scale. I watched it 3 times and now I have nausea. He must carry his nads between his ears.
        But man, can that guy RIDE.

                  200 Kph + 124.3 Mph
                  180 Kph + 111.8 Mph
                  Really faster than my old self has to go. That was pretty impressive riding except for the areas, where there were too many people and vehicles. When I go on a speed run I choose more deserted areas. Mostly for safety but also for not getting caught.

                        Ooops I missed the 297 conversion. Must be oldtimers setting in. Hell I can even hide my own easter eggs at this time of year.

                          when the rear slid, I'd have loaded my shorts

                            The guy in the video probably loaded his shorts too. Might have been the weight transfer from his stomach to shorts that saved his azz. I was scared just watching that part. Back when I was 20 or so I may have tried that but a whole lot older now and even a teeny bit wiser, so yup I agree Ain't No Way

                              What's that blinky while light on the right side of the dash? Is that the "Slow Down Idiot!" light?
