What a great video! The reason that is a "near perfect" lap is that the harder you try for perfect, one mistake and you hit that steel guard rail at an unfriendly speed. What a great run around the ring! According to the laws of physics, I think the rider is slightly younger than the rest of us now.. Ahh, youth! Balls of Titanium!!

While its nice for this video, for a World Championship competitor it'd be an impediment. Even my feeble attempts at imitating Rossi are interrupted by the little tankbag I use getting in the way.

Those were tourist laps though (Bridge to Gantry), and in traffic. Awesome vid, btw.

It certainly takes balls and skills to go that fast, that smoothly, on that track with NO runoff! Impressive! Awesome video with great perspective on speed, lean angle, bike movement.

You can get a real sense of the ability needed to ride at those speeds that smoothly. I love the rear end getting squirrelly under hard braking at the 4:40 mark. To have that track to yourself for a day would be heaven. Awesome video – great skills, amazing bike and the sound is perfect.
