    Went down the Dragon with a dude that had a Rocker-C back when I had my FZ. He was hammerin' that fast, maybe faster. Scary as hell to see a Harley basically dragging the frame at 60+ mph. I couldn't really keep up. Guy shredded the chrome on his pipe tips.

      Amazing skills, even on the "real speed" version. But they do need to be on a closed course.

        Skilled or reckless? I'm going with the latter. At one point he got out of a highside by sheer luck and almost bashed his head on the rocks multiple times.

          I'm voting skilled. I've learned long ago that skill and talent can appear as reckless. He's very good - no doubt in my mind. It's not the first time down that road guaranteed.

            Yes, skilled-and without the sense of fear that preserves many lives.

              I rode with a guy like that occasionally in the 70's. He had a H2 ported with DG heads and pipes. He is no longer with us, but it was drugs not the bike. Reckless covers any action for some people.
