...,I guess the other ones are riding mopeds.

Ducati 848 onboard video - Oulton Park - Mike 'Spike' Edwards

Apparently he's a British national champion.

I wonder how 'stock' his bike is; I guess pretty standard as the ducati challenge doesn't allow a lot of changes except for suspension internals.

He seems to be breaking pretty deep into those corners, really skilled guy bet he was having a blast though.

Yes  Grin
At least, it is on my 1098. Happens when I get up in the rev range - there's more of a top end rush with the Testa Evo motors than older Duc motors I've been exposed to.

That rider is really impressive. What I noticed most was how smooth he is. I doubt he's even at a 90% pace (for him) in this video.

Rumblestrips (or other bumps), headshake, and wheelies can cause the bars to flop around a bit.

Yup, awesome throttle control. I dont think he ever as much as missed a blip.

Wow, this guy is really impressive. All that fork shaking WITH a dampener.

This guy has huge balls and loads of skill.

You think that headshake is bad.  Try it without the damper.  Its all over the place.
