I think I've seen every video he/she posted. LOVE the vids!! He/she can deffinately ride and is very comfortable on two wheels.
not to get to get to graphic, but i don't know how he rests his huge balls on his gas tank. lol. there was a rumor awhile back that he died in a crash.

Someone like that carry’s their titanium balls in a backpack because they’re too big!!
Are they talented and well versed?…..yes. Do I think doing this on an open road with other drivers is completely asinine?…..yes!
As someone who has a lot of horsepower in the garage and frequently do track days, I get quite nervous pushing speeds on an open road…..and I’ve had training at driving at speed!
I just wish more people would use the proper facilities where they usually have medics in case of accidents.

Yeah, I heard he died yrs ago. I/we've (the club I rode with) drove crazy at times. Rules were always wear full gear on every rude, and NO BULLSHIT around other cars/trucks on the road. Then racing on the track was sooooo much fun. Until the 2 horrible accidents I had while racing. I'm glad i have no memory of them.

I haven't ever done these things on a Bike before, but I know for me personally, Fast and Furious movies ruined Street Racing for me. We had similar rules; Putting your OWN life at risk was acceptable, but putting someone else's was not. Sometimes I miss doing tricks on the road, but I'm 40 now, and there's people who need me to be alive.
Sadly I never managed to get my Club 200 Tee Shirt. ONLY because I never could afford a car to do that. Today if I had a choice I'd just hop in a McLaren F1 and get my shirt. And by McLaren F1, I mean the one from the mid 90s, NOT the Mercedes one. The one with a BMW V12 engine. 0 - 100 in 3 or 4 seconds....Shit I'd love to play in one.

Grattan is my home track!!! I’m an instructor for one of the groups that go there. I need to get to Mid-Ohio. Lot of people say it’s a great track for my Miata. I also need to take one of the Camaros to Road America.

Mid-ohio is awesome. I used to ride with redline superbike mc.
DO NOT ride that track in the rain!!
I was doing 1:30's at grattan. I think they are selling the track since covid screwed everything up.

No class. But I rode in advanced group. I quit riding on the street after I almost got killed by a soccer mom. I kindly removed her mirror. I was strictly race track only for the last 6yrs of riding.
CCW (counter clockwise) at grattan was my all time favorite.

Grattan has been “for sale” for the last seven years or so. It’s picking up steam now because the owners are getting older and it’s taking a toll on them, but they think it’s worth a huge fortune, when in reality, it needs some TLC. I grew up with the owners kids and about a half mile from the track. I would ride my bike down there as a kid to watch! I ran a 1:31.xx in my 2013 Camaro and I got my 2017 Camaro down to 1:28.88.

I rode there from 2003-2009/10. I highsided in the "bus stop t-9" normal rotation (not counter clockwise). Woke up in the ambulance after I did the "walking zombie" on the track.
Concussion, 3 fractured ribs, countless bruises all over.
Isle of man is bad ass. Those guys have nuts of titanium to ride that course at those speeds.
