That is one of the craziest things I have ever seen. It looks like he was riding on ice.

It's a lot easier to do that kinda stuff when it's not your bike you're riding out there.
Seriously, that's incredible. I'm sure I've done some of those moves before, albeit at much lower speeds and pretty unintentionally, when I lived in Oregon and commuted by motorcycle. But to string together corner after corner riding on that ragged edge is just amazing. And made to sound even more romantic and adventurous by the voices of the Italian superbike sportscasters. Cajones, for sure.

Amazing, seems to defy the laws of physics. Why is he all alone on the track? Is it a race? Time trial?

Talk about riding on the edge. Wow.
Different venue, but Christian Pfeiffer knows a thing or two about bike control:

 Looked like a time trial for a race and from the card it appeared he was in second position at lap 2 if I read that right. Amazing how much that bike is moving, especially on the downhill braking and how much control the rider has. His cajones, definately large, the guy in 1st, whoa!

Here's what I think is the most famous tank slapper save from Colin Edwards:

It always amazed me how fast these guys can run a bike in the rain.
When there is even a little moisture on the ground, I ride like an old woman.
