Wouldnt say Genius.. Would say he deffo got Skillz.. not a retard because he did it without falling off 🙂
I just watched the whole clip willing him to fall off. I’m just jealous ‘cos all I can do is little wheelies.
That’s easy 😛 But the catch is you need something slippy under your boots otherwise they grip along the road and you also need something to jam the throttle open so it doesn’t automatically return to shut off the fuel. Once the bike is moving , if it has constant fuel it can pretty much power itself in a straight line anyway, it’s just hopping all over it affects the balance, which affects where it aims (or wind resistance on the wheel sometimes too) hence the chap was all over the road. I forget his name but the chap who did the guiness world record for this did it @ 180+mph over a distance, but keeping it straight! I’d confirm this but the GWr site seems to have gone through a redesign and omitted/not added that record yet..

Like the choke 😉
just to add to the biker genius/retard debate, consider this situation your bike has just blown it’s starter relay and your at work. You have a decent toolkit but no replacement relay but you also have AA membership.
What do you do?
Here’s what I did:

P.S Sorry for the shite camera work, the guy recording it has a BTEC in photography!
Choke is a no-no IMO but bar ends without washers do the trick 😉 In that situation though i’d have used my cunt of a kick start which is oddly mounted on the wrong side of the bike, but without a kick start I’d have been l;azy and waited for the AA 😛
