BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Thinking of a stunt bike why not the F800GS?

This guy was so amazing on the 800GS he was doing things that broke the laws of physics!

I was told the bike is completely stock, he just let a bit of air out of the tires and tore it to shreds.

This why I don't like to buy second hand bikes if I can avoid it...

Google around for Stunt Vids

Google Christian Pheiffer (not sure on spelling). He is one of the best Euro stunt monkeys. Christian also uses an F800.

That UTube doesn't really show what can be done, not enough room to really let it all hang out. It gets far more extreme. WSB and MotoGP often feature these guys as between race entertainment.

Your right I've watched a few other video's with this same guy riding in a bigger space much more entertaining. But at the same time I was very impressed with what he could do given the limited space.

This guys name is Teach McNiell. He really didn't have a whole lot of room to work with, but amazing none the less.

Sounds like a blast I'll have to see if I can make it out there

I've done some of those things on my 1200GS, but never deliberately and with my own variated endings. Ride safe.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
