That is one hell of a road! Made me dizzy just watching it. Guy went for a little ride there at the end too! The noise of the bike on the asphalt was just nasty too.

Good video and that looked like an intense road. In general these guys were doing a lot of stupid things but I didn't catch what actually happened. Did the rear swing out behind him? Or the front lose contact?

He definitely lost the rear for sure. Really good video though.

Let his ego out ride his talent! Keep doing stupid stuff and eventually something stupid is going to happen. Bet that was a $1,000 or more crash.

The road (not scenery) looked a lot like the ones in N. Georgia and NC. Heading up in April.

Under 300 miles when he bought the farm.

Makes me want to go search for something in the area -- it will no means compare to the video, but at least it will be a fun ride.

wow what a ride, the road is deffintely to narrow for a ride like this.
Although there were only couple of side fences which incase of an impact makes a totaly different story. I think that in this film the damage wasn't that bad due to the grass along the way.

Yes, narrow is the word. I don't know if I would be tearing up a road that narrow. Very little margin for error. It did seem as though he had ridden that route many times before. It sure seems like a lot of turns to memorize.

The speedo reading didn't seem to match how fast the scenery was leaving the camera view. Then it dawned on me-his speedo must be set to KPH not MPH. ( Of course the fact that they were riding on the left, rather than the right, side of the road should have been a clue)

It looks like Australia (used to live there) besides cars driving on the left and KPH on the speedo, the truck (Ute) he passed are very popular in Northern Oz, plus all the eucalyptus (Gum) trees. Great POV video
