This video link was on another bike forum that I visit. The rider is awesome but I'm sure that the all the footage in the video was not done on the first take. It's still great to watch.

He is just amazing! I love it when he jumps off the bridge onto the grass slope and the people run over and look over the edge.

Great video, very impressive and best left for others.

But I have to take exception to your thread title. Now, thanks to you, I am going to have this running through my mind all day...

Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

I thought this thread was all about me.

I was born in the right country but that really wasn't my doing. I got the right woman to marry me but, at the time, I had no clue about what I was doing. I've managed to screw up pretty much everything else but, given those two lucky strokes, my life has turned out geat.

IMO, the rider is about 100 levels above MASTER CLASS. IMO again, that bike has got to be 100 levels above awesome in every respect.

Great vid and thanks for sharing...
