Also that's Phil Read, I love that helmet. Based on the titles in the clip I would assume it's from Le cheval de fer...I could be wrong though, and IMDB doesn't have much info about it. Maybe that's the French title for Continental Circus?

Let me preface by saying I know this is a crappy post and I'm embarrassed by it. I saw a picture of a bike in a thread in CA and as much as I try I can't remember what it was called or where I saw it. The bike was a classic-styled modern bike, in the vein of Triumph's modern classics. It had pretty knobby tires and looked like an early dirt bike. It was a European bike not available in the US, and it was painted in white and bright yellow. The photograph was taken side on, and I believe the bike was pointed towards the right. Does this ring any bells?

I think this really sells the idea of a supermoto to me better than any other video. You can see the kind of flow you can get into with this kind of bike, and how even everyday travel can get...creative.

Phat_Albert posted:Man, thats like the fastest headshake on earth. Were his hands bolted to the bars or what? If you've got very little weight over the front tire, a huge, flat contact patch on the back, and a tiny front tire/contact patch, you can pick up crazy headshake like that. I've occasionally had it happen while not quite making the wheelie over T9 at thunderhill. The drag bikes have the advantage of a tiny steering lock and a minimal front contact patch, so while it looks really bad, it's actually not affecting the bike that much. If you get that level of headshake on a normal motorcycle...well, things tend to end a little different. Look at how little the bike deviates from it's course despite the headshake, and compare the speed and frequency of the headshake to any other video of it. Despite the really, really high speed wobbles, it's not really doing a lot to the path of the bike.

Is part of the front wheel actually giving way or something?
