JohnBeaven Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it. Link to comment
eddd Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 That is pretty amazing. Any little slip up would be prety expensive too. It almost looks like his bags act as wheelie bars! Link to comment
Paul Mihalka Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I've seen him do the same things on F650 to K1200LT, some with a passenger! Amazing is right! Link to comment
Flying_Dutchmen Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Amazing indeed. I didn't know you can switch off the ABS on a 1200RT. Link to comment
tobyzusa Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Amazing indeed. I didn't know you can switch off the ABS on a 1200RT. Ditto. Link to comment
Boffin Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Amazing indeed. I didn't know you can switch off the ABS on a 1200RT. You can't, neither can you switch off the anti-stoppie software. I suspect he has simply connected pipes between the master cylinders and the callipers. I would not be surprised if the final drive had been swapped out for a lower ratio one (GS?). This is a professional stunt rider and bike mods are common in that field. Andy Link to comment
Huzband Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yeah, but can he do it on a highway in heavy traffic? Link to comment
Quinn Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Maybe I can learn to do that if someone holds a "Ride Stupid" in my area. Link to comment
eddd Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 If I tried that I might need some of those male "Depends" that have been discussed! Link to comment
BluegrassPicker Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Someone help him! Poor guy rode down a one way street and they won't let him out! Link to comment
Woodie Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I took my kids to see him live at Lime Rock racetrack a couple of years ago. Really neat. I was glad I wasn't "volunteered" to be his assistant for some of those stunts! My pictures were hysterical: Empty frame, with a tiny blur of tail section at the very edge of the pictures. Luckily, he did an autograph session afterwards, and we got two autographed DVDs and a hat. Link to comment
Bonkorama Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 If you look closely at the crowd on the left, theres an old fart shaking his fist at the guy. <= Link to comment
