Not impressed but maybe harder than it looks.
So your saying it's ok for these guy's to put not just their life and property at risk but other's as well because they can't stay in their lane?

Point of Deals gap is to enjoy it.

Again you can't stay in your lane you can't handle that speed, your bike can't handle what it is being asked to do, both.

"Yellow wolf can ride. He was in control the whole way. Did drift to the yellow line too much, but he was in control and could have pulled back right at any time. Thanx for the video."

You can't stay in your lane your going to fast for your skills, the bike can't cut it, both.

You want to ride the asphalt from edge to edge then get on a race track.

If your judgement is that poor that you can't keep your bike in your lane or worse decide to drift wide on purpose risking the life of other's just to go faster then the road will allow is nothing to be proud of.

People are human and can/do drift from their lane. To repeatedly choose to do so and admire it is nothing to be proud of.

the goal is for everyone to meet at the store...wait in line 20 minutes to buy a trinket...walk over to the tree of shame...listen to your buddy tell you how awesome it is...then get stuck behind 20 miatas both times you take it...

it was okay, but way too crowded when i went. i guess its better during the week, but i enjoyed 28 more than the dragon.
