Want to know what happens when you blip the throttle and select 1st gear at 80mph...?

    I wonder if I should do the same really.... Nothing compares to the track but giving up road riding would be difficult as I only got my licence a year ago :(

    Track bikes are sexy tho :D

    That's the bottom line really aint it?

    Crashing on a Track usually just leads to pain in the wallet more than the body.

    Crashing on the road usually leads to broken bones or death!

    I actually get really nervous thinking about what could happen every time I set a wheel on the road, however once riding that fear seems to subside temporarily.

    Then when I get back and go over some of the more riskier maneuvers I've just executed and some of the speeds I've just done the fear comes back! :(

    I now find myself looking at everything I could slide into if I came off my bike on the road and mostly it looks terminal.....

    You just reminded me of this video from a few years back


    The Aussies do make some though provoking safety videos at times
