In that one little moment there he was riding like me. I'll let you'all figure out which moment that was.

Hah! Pretty formidable bike and rider, even if I'm not much into stunt-riding...still a little impressive to see it done with such ease...

One of the Advanced Cornering Clininc classes I took (on MCB Quantico), he was one of the teachers.  Great guy - very knowledgeable.  Burned the wheels off the BWM1000 he had.  First thing he told us was "no stoppies allowed".  He participates in a program called SemperRide.

Saw this guy in person a couple months back. It's insane the level of bike control he has. And that poor GS looks like it's begging for a new owner. The cases are empty, but that doesn't detract from the skill. He also had an s1000rr, which was just nuts.
