Chasing A Harley Davidson On The Racetrack [Beginner Group]

[@TomasPerezAcle]

This race demonstrates the truth about the old saying: when you go straight is the machine, during curves is the pilot. Cool!

[@eaglescout5816]

Make no mistake, that harley rider has mega skills to attack that course like that.

[@micahvelli_236]

Awesome video showing that baggers can do it to. I have a 2013 street glide that im building into a performance bagger while still keeping comfort for touring. Installed an upgraded filter and 2 into 1 exhaust, tuned and Raised the rear an inch a half and it handles absolutely amazing. It shreds canyons and i can lean it quite a bit without scraping anything. So many misconceptions about harleys out there, you wont know until ride one.

[@karlalton3170]

The old Barge Baggers handle better than i thought , fair play dude good ride 😁😁🤘🤘

[@backwoodscharlie8483]

That dude can ride, 90% Rider 10% bike

[@renegadebikersol2936]

"90% rider 10% bike" I feel like this applies to Grom ownership. Haha regardless this dude can indeed ride.

[@GNUprogramer]

Amazing film! Congrats.

[@ThePollaxtroy]

Respect to both riders in that tussel.

[@x4x4offroad87]

Great video love it I drive a Harley Street glide and this guy I know if he was riding one would be scraping the freaking hell out of the floorboards I do it every now and then and it is an awesome feeling I'd love to get mine on a track to practice cornering but amazing video he's ripping it hard time

[@ironcast]

I think that was also part of his skill set--to go so fast without dragging parts all of the time.

[@torbenkochel4461]

That's cool man! respect

[@motoman7445]

That moment when you think you're going like stink.......and a Harley bagger passes you.🤦‍♂️

[@OliverKrysell]

The best rider can ride anything 💪

[@manbunmyname5866]

I followed a husband and wife on individual baggers through Deal's Gap aka Tail of the Dragon... They were dragging the floorboards on every decent curve we had, and never crossed the center line. Mad respect to them.

[@tenspeed7711]

Shows we can keep up with your zippy fast as fuck rockets 😉 nice riding man 🤙😎

[@johnnymossville]

Bagger rider is so smooth.

[@ja-bv3lq]

Harley baggers aren't fast, but they handle amazing if you (know how to) push them around!

[@DeadRoman]

Dude was getting it, but LOL @ “chasing”

[@OliverKrysell]

Yes, I caught up to him, tried to find when to pass, he let me thrue in the end. Beginner group mate (2017) I've learnt a thing or two since then. Watch my others videos, there getting better 😎

[@malakiblunt]

if that was the beginner group what were the bagger rides in the advanced group like !!

[@OliverKrysell]

Haha. Don't think he would be able to keep the pace with the bike as it was. They rider switched to a S1000R the next year. But have you seen when they race with baggers? Those guys aren't joking around. Heavenly modified bikes there tho. ☺️

[@albertomponce]

good technique!!!

[@truckeemick2486]

nice.

[@periklisbarbas9768]

ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUSPENSION OR STABILIZER PLEASE?

[@OliverKrysell]

PERIKLIS BARBAS On my bike or the Harly?

[@periklisbarbas9768]

PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!! ABOUT THE HARLEY!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@OliverKrysell]

PERIKLIS BARBAS The gentleman with the Harly gave me this information, hope it helps. "Hello, I have switched to progressive shock absorbers and increased the viscosity of the oil. At the rear, I pump up to max pressure ie for two people with full packing."

[@periklisbarbas9768]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE INFOS!!!!WISH YOU THE BEST!!!

[@TwentySevenCycles]

Check out RWD Suspension Russ Warnimont Designs, thats what we run on our race bikes!!!

[@rkba4923]

Checkin out them chicken strips.

[@wordreet]

You meant following. Chasing? Were you riding a 125?

[@OliverKrysell]

wordreet He chased me, he passed, I chase him, I pass him. It's a Honda Cb400n from 82 with 400cc. Hope this answer your question 🤙

[@wordreet]

Heh, ok. As long as you guys were having fun, that's all that matters. :¬)

[@OliverKrysell]

wordreet 110% mate 😉

[@chillon2922X]

Haha, its not fair. He is no beginner. That's for sure ;)

[@domingonavarro1288]

If you can’t catch that, you’re a chump!

[@OliverKrysell]

1. Didn't have the skill back then. 2. It's all about having fun, which I had. 3. I'm on a little 400cc, not much power, need to pick my lanes. 4. Harley is not the easiest to do trackday on, especially if your new. And he has more power, if he can. 5. Learning learning learning Cheers mate

[@raynic1173]

Silly, no ones "chasing" anyone here. The bike lean angles don't even reach 30 degrees. I would assume this is a beginner group. I mean it kind of relative and have fun at your own pace but chasing is a bit of a stretch.

[@OliverKrysell]

*Thank you*! (Steve Carell The Office gif)

[@br549american5]

Lean angle doesn't necessarily mean speed!

[@raynic1173]

@@br549american5 actually unless your drifting like a flat tracker it actually does, for the most part.

[@br549american5]

@@raynic1173 uhhhh ,,, no. Keep your weight applied directly over and inline with where your tires meet the ground. FIND CENTER. when you lean it takes time to set up and move your weight over for a change in direction. Also riding on a track is one thing, but on the road you had better ride like there just might be a cinder block laying in the roadway around every curve or over every hill!

[@raynic1173]

@@br549american5 first off this is a race track and we're talking bike lean angle not body lean. A road bike at a certain lean angle is almost a direct relation to how 'aggressive' or fast or at what kind of speed that corner is taken. Of course it's all relative to the radius of the corner. 30 degrees of lean angle at 'x' radius maybe 40 mph and 30 degrees at 'z' maybe 60 mph. Also if we want to talk body position, that only takes a second or less to accomplish and is easily doable 99% of the time if one chooses too. In less than the time it would take you to say 'hey a right turn is coming up' you can be in position if so desired. Body positioning is all a matter of choice. However, more than one study has proved shifting your body position aka 'like a racer' gives you the advantage of your bike being ~ 4 degrees less of lean for the given speed and radius of the corner. A way to take advantage of that. Is that a racer can then maximize and use up that 4 degrees by going at faster pace. I will agree that highly aggressive riding on the street can catch you out and is risky. But that to can be minimised with some planning and tactics. But once again here I was commenting on the 'chase ', which is highly over stated in the title.

[@d30gaijin]

A Harley bagger beats this young fool's zoom bike. LOL!!! BTW, what kind of idiot goes out on a track wearing a T-shirt and jeans???

[@davidlloyd-jones9603]

Looks like hard work and always on the brink of crashing. A Moto Guzzi would be much better to handle.

[@santo.8177]

HARLEY DAVIDSON????? No Thank you. I LOVE BMW👍💪🏼❤️👍💪🏼
