Saw this on ADV.

Never saw anyone do this on a sportster before. . .

Not sure, but the bike looks like an xr1200 (remake of the old xr750 flat tracker.)  Looks like it'd be a fun bike to do your DMV moto test on.

It's the Coriolis effect - he'd be spinning clockwise in southern hemisphere.

Depending on which way they race, most tracks are either right or left turn heavy.  ;)

Uh, no.  Not like this guy anyways.  My bike is far too pretty to risk doing this.

It will, however, do 30 foot burnouts!  (got to find that pic...)

Any biker who hasn't seen an AMA mile dirt track race is missing something exciting. You might see 30 lead changes in a 25 lap feature. Usually it's all Harleys, but Larry Pegram actually qualified for a feature on a Duc last year.  [thumbsup]
