| Re: Crazy street riding Having spent much time in Greece, that is just any given day there. Normal riding except for the fact that the cars were staying on their own side of the road. That is something new.
But didn't ya know? Every motorcycle rider on the continent is the next MOTO GP superstar.
Go there once and you will see what I mean. |

| Re: Crazy street riding  Whats up with not being able to hit the corner while staying in your lane? Guess they think they need all that road to go that fast. Guy with the camera sucks!  Can't stay on the road and keeps locking up his breaks. Guess this kinda behavior is why insurance prices are so high?

| Re: Crazy street riding A couple things came to mind as I watched those vidoes... first, "holy mother of god this is the most irresponsible thing I've seen in my life". But that was quickly followed by "these guys are really good". Definitely almost bit it a few time on the turn ins to some of those corners. |

| Re: Crazy street riding aint that bad
this place smells like Isle of Man, speeds though are considerable lower because there are corners of 2nd and 3rd  ....
Been there every once a while, great scenery and tarmac - these guys in the video are the local heros/wildcards
