Man that road looks like a ton of fun!!! You do a great job of keeping up with him... he pulled away a couple times on the straights but you were right back with him in the corners!!! Just some constructive criticism... you brother could use some work on body positioning... he is getting pretty crossed up in pretty much every corner... less butt slide and more upper body movement... but that could just be me

Enjoyed watching that! Nice to see two brothers out riding together
It would have been nice if you overlaid the music on-top of the ambient sounds, so that we could still hear the bikes growl. I noticed the strange centre marking in the road. It was really wide and had bumpy bits in the middle. Is the width there to accommodate riders whose heads sometimes go into the opposite lane as they take left corners? Are the bumpy bits to physically stop bikes overtaking? |

I tell my brother to take it easy on the straights so the video will look better.. especially going uphill! I agree he is a bit crossed up, after watching "twist of the wrist 2" which btw should be the bible for every motorcycle rider. They go over every aspect of riding and i reccommend to everyone. They say if you "hang off" the bike in corners.. one butt cheek is more than enough, any more and you can become disconnected with the bike and also can be dangerous. Also.. which i have practiced and works.. lean your upper body in the direction of the turn and keep you upper body parallel with the bike and keep the weight off your hands to avoid unwanted steering input. I'll mention it to him. I'm lucky to have these roads only a few miles from where i live |

They did that to the road about 2 months ago.. sucks. Cars and motorcycles race through there.. think they are trying to deter people from racing around the canyon roads. We'll hasn't really stopped us haha. They actually put GROOVES in the road not bumps.. about an inch deep, so its important to stay out of the middle as you can get out of shape very easily, iv'e riden that road probably 35 times so i know it well |

To the OP - the only thing I can say is you should probably leave more following distance. Sometimes you were so close on his tail that if he binned it you'd become part of it for lack of time to react. |

Key is to have fun, don't push it sooo hard as to terrify yourself or endanger you or others on the road. We wear full leathers.. well i wear 2 piece alpinestars that zip together, boots, gloves, and of course helmet. I see too many idiots wearing shorts, vans, t-shirt, no gloves... unbelievable really |
