Ken,
Thanks for posting this. Between the scenery, the speed and instability of those bikes and the pretty girls... :shocked:

when those bikes did the "shake" after the front tire came down, I was thinking "I would have passed out while riding". lol

Man, that speed wiggle coming over the rise is insane. I also cannot believe the bystanders standing beside these guided (or unguided) missiles.
Those riders have to be on an adrenaline rush. It is cool to watch, though. :yikes: I wish I had that kind of riding skill.

I go every year, we have a day called "Mad Sunday" where the track is open to all. I managed to get my Kawasaki to 165 mph before bottling out.

Exciting to watch the motorcycles and the beautiful scenery. The shaking of the bikes was a little scarry though. :thumbup:

Name of the Stewart? I wanted to say Patrick--but that was the Star Trek guy. The other name that comes to mind is Bobbie.

Those rear-wheel only corners at time stamp 4:00 and 4:13 are insane!
