Ever been leaned over in a left hand turn when you suddenly realize your head is over the line and traffic is coming the other way

I posted the link for the movie on a website I frequent and they posted some shots from the California area. Take a look.

Really cool right up to the point they passed the car on a blind curve that dumped into another blind curve going the other way. The chase bike passing the other bikes was another Einstien moment. Not only passing on a blind curve, he took the next curve all the way through on the wrong side of the road.
And people weep for morons when they kill themselves doing stupid stunts like that.
Do a search for V-Strom, one of the first results is a forum for V-Stom riders with a "In Memory of" header. Read the thread about that dudes crash/death a couple weeks ago and read the posts by his kids and tell me if those dudes in the video are worthy of awe or a kick in the ass.

You ain't kidding. Hit it about 0900 this morning. Stayed in 2nd gear most of the time. Some corners are so sharp and banked, you can feel you suspension compress as you go around.Got passed by a Goldwing
felt bad about about it till I found out it's a guy that will follow the sportbikes thru and video tape the ride for you.Saw the Killboy guy taking pics on the way back down and there was a great big wild turkey flapping his wings on the side of the road.
