DUDE! I did a VERY LITTLE bit of that kind of wet tire sliding in Memphis on a rainy morning and had the shakes for a solid hour. Too much pucker factor for me.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I've done that in mud on my dirtbike, and lets just say that wasn't mud in my drawers.

Dirtbikes, I think most of the really good to great (much better than me) bike riders I know started in their youth riding dirtbikes.
Yes, both vids are inspiring.

Aw... that's nothin. Try going from Tulsa to Nashville in a torrential downpour only stopping to pee and for gas. A normal 9 hour trip took me twelve hours.

Bl00dy awesome. I guess it helps a bit when you know that if you go down you probably won't hit anything and it's not your bike anyway. But still awesome. PS I bet he hasn't got a snatchy EFI throttle.
