That's why roadracers usually walk away from crashes. Marc Marquez got off at 209 MPH last year and walked away. I've fallen off at 120 or so and its really no big deal... once you get over the shock of what just happened, LOL.

Yeah just another day at the office for these guys. That said you have to have a real set to do what they do - bigger than what I'm equipped with for sure!

OP defines troller.

That written, I can't argue that bikers don't have the biggest balls.
Even if they don't have balls...

No big deal really. I've touched my elbow down a few times at the track..... Unfortunately it was always followed with the rest of my body as I slid off the track.

The boys in Catalunya are complaining that the curbs are too high today. They say they have to modify their lines to accommodate the reduced lean angles that result from their shoulders dragging on the ground. That to me is pretty badass.

I've been saying to my lads lately that the riders are incredible as are the bikes but without the tyre technology these lean angles would never be seen.

As much as I enjoyed the Le Mans race I kept thinking about this video that Sidney posted a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, that's him. He's having a good summer on the river here in Red Lodge.

I don't see how the original post is trolling.
