Well, it definitely took long enough for my dial-up connection to download the video - over 3 hours - but it was an impressive ride.

I don't know how fast the guy was going, but in the parts mentioned by LadyZ and Violet, he had to be hitting between 80-90mph at least. There were more than a couple of times that I thought he was going to lose it in those DEEP curves - but he held on to it. The dude can definitely handle his bike.

So....how many of you kept turning your heads as he went around the curves?
