slow cruiser riders?

Not this guy

Holy smokes he rides the wheels off of this thing.

yeah, he really put that bike through its paces alright - and almost lost it at one point.
I have to hand it to him for his skill, but I shudder to think how well he would have faired in his T-shirt if he had gone down - or if something had been in the way around those blind corners.
But I guess it's all about your minute of fame on YouTube.

Love to see what this guy could do with a support bike. Yeah, the t-shirt would have been ruined, along with a pound of flesh, had he lost it and road the asphalt dragon bareback!

However, the camera bike seems not to have a hard time to follow him.

I was stunned when I saw how hard he was pushing that cruiser. Those are speeds and lean angles you don't normally see a rider of that genre of motorcycle ride.

Yea he got out of shape once (learning the limit lol), but saved it well, and continued ripping once he recovered, and finished with a smile on his face. Looks like he enjoyed himself.

Bet he could win some spending cash running some sportbike riders who think they are faster than they really are. Probably take some of my money lol

The video shows a good example of how different the vision of an enjoyable
ride can be. The 'racer' seems to be hunted by the devil and tries to escape.
I don't even have fun watching the video and spend more time instead by reading the comments underneath it. With some I agree, guess which! Wether he can drive or not is not of any interest to me. What does he wants to proof? That he survived?
Yes, for now he did. I hope, that youtube clips like this one, will not activate some
imitators. A lost wish.....

Ya know...I don't usually take exception to comments here. Probably because most folks are 'ride your own ride' kinda folks here. I happen to enjoy riding quickly through turns, although I'm not as good as the guy in the video. I take a bit of offense at being characterized as a "racer" and as someone "haunted by the devil". I get a kick out of how the bike feels under me when I lean it over into a turn and a sense of excitement and satisfaction after properly executing the exit of that turn. What do i have to prove? Nothing to you. Something to myself, though, something that you do not understand. You do not need to understand it, but you need not criticize me because you don't.

well it probably isn't a good idea to ride like that on a public road, but most of us do like to challenge ourselves from time to time. He didn't cross over at double yellow lines to pass, didn't tail gate anyone, really didn't endanger anyone else but himself and it seemed like he sure enjoyed it.

the only reason I posted it at all, was because it is so polar opposite of how we think of cruiser riders riding. See that guy on that bike in a parking lot and I'm sure you'd think, please don't let me get stuck behind HIM going thru that set of curves up the road, because you wouldn't want to be held up, when the reality is, you might not be able to Keep up.

I just enjoyed the whimsy of my own predjudice.

Are you the one, who rode in the video? I don't think so.
My comment meant him, not you. I never saw you ride.
It's up to you, to see yourself in the same boot with him and take my words personal.
That was not my intention.
