Post by StuartWags »

I guess most of you have seen this but it is still... VTR gets slated a bit for ground clearance. However, it is all relative and i don't ride like that on the road

If they want to ride like this, they would rather show their skills in racetrack, like this nice guy ...

It this forum still about riding on the bike? This vid is one of the best.

This reminded me of the Fast Bikes " Pulp Friction"

included in the footage was them Wheeling through the Channel Tunnel Train! 8O

Can obviously ride the pants off the bikes but don't think they give the best impression to other road users. :lol:
