Older Rider on a Moto Guzzi Stelvio can ride !

[@neiljarvis8911]

Had to switch off camera bike riding way too close to the bike in front at that speed..... not on a track with safe run off. Looks like the red mist of a group ride 💀! Guzzi rider was far more measured and riding his own ride, great lines and riding the torque and not playing tune with the gearbox. Smooth is fast!

[@senorduc5944]

Guzzi’s lines show the difference from camera guy lines. Greater knowledge and skill.

there are bold and there are old riders. but there aren´t many old and bold riders. cheers from the old continent.

His name is very fitting. The lines, corner entry speed, exit, it is artistry. Like bringing all those years of experience together and showcasing the final product. Hope I can ride with such grace one day.

Experience is worth everything when riding bikes. I think I can say that as a 73 year old that's been riding for 60 years and and passed my bike test at 16, but had been getting about off road for 3 years. I've had a lot of bikes and have a collection, but am utterly besotted with my MT10, which I've now had for 6 years. Good vid. by the way.

[@ameamaeula]

The suitcase dude... Killing it

[@KiwiMoto72]

Nice video - us old guys can ride. We learned how to in the olden days before rider aids. But this is a master class in lines, corner entry/exit points, trail braking and body position. The first dude he passed was so stiff on the bars. Thats about 50% of his problem. Way too stiff........

[@marcfalardeau6058]

[@cynicaldodgyknees6248]

I thought the cases mountings were too high on the Stelvio. Looks like they might be too low!

[@flytwin1772]

Is that a racetrack? You will crash sooner or later, no question, the distance to the driver in front of you is far too short if he has a problem. The way bikers are behaving here is terrible, can´t say having fun, it is not your road. If someone has an accident and get´s hurt, everyone is crying how could that happen. You are just to weak to control yourself, that´s again not a good image for us as biker.

that's just the thing...most weekend-racers do it - but they dont know why, and as long as they think it looks cool - they are happy , personally i think it's pathetic and it makes them look like fools

[@Jaded-Wanderer]

@@hedning003 I drag my knee on track days but not on the road. I don't have to drag my knees on track, I could lift them away. I drag 'em because hanging off a bike at a good lean angle at 100 mph on a closed throttle and dragging a knee feels absolutely fabulous for me. I don't do it for anybody else, just me, 'cos I like how it feels.

[@horatio8764]

Drag those bags Herb , awesome Same bike as mine by the looks , from an older rider in Australia

[@arseniogonzalezg3096]

In my humble opinion, I think he could have better body position so he could decrease lean angle to his bike and reduce risk of loosing grip on the front tire. See how he moves his head to an upright position, away from the inside of the corner, instead of leaning his head and upper body to the inside. The Rider with the camera does a better job and you can notice how his bike LCD display is at the left side when making a right turn. This means he is leaning his upper body to the inside of the corner. 🤷‍♂️

[@DtotheAtotheNtotheI]

This is exactly the opposite what you should do with that bike on the street The more you lean the body the less control you will have when you need to correct bc of an obstacle. Trailbraking is key

[@dcongdon2294]

In the Netherlands they say, speeding is killing you. Any fool can drive fast, but mastering a motorcycle and above all not endangering yourself and others separates the real motorcyclist from the fools.

[@iliasmetalworks]

Take care guys. I know it's sweet but the road it's also vicious.

[@frankspeakmore7104]

When I want to watch someone riding fast on public roads and doing it well, I watch the IOM TT's. Anything slower than that is like finishing in the masses at the London marathon.

[@ihabsglei]

3:20 That's the result. Lost contact with the driver in front, misjudged the speed and the curve and almost ended up in the opposite lane.

[@marshallbronne2142]

Not sure about that one, but the old Moto Guzzis like the old BMWs were tricky to ride. The transverse engine and no counter balancers would push the bike down in right turns and lift it up on left turns during throttle. (maybe lave that backwords, but you get the idea). He definitely know how to ride.

It's a very beautiful touring road. I wish I could ride it. From Japan

Great riding, if one goes down, all go down, never mind the danger you are to other law-abiding road users. Take it to the track, it's safer, you know what's around the next corner and you're unlikely to hit an oncoming car or steel barrier if you crash.

[@RideCroatia]

Guzzi rider is the way to go, keeping his own pace and keeping it within the manageable risk. But you amigo, I don’t know what and to whom you’re trying to prove something. You’re on the public road amigo, I would be applauding you if this was on the track. But it’s not. And I don’t know if the guy riding in front of you is your friend or something but, if that’s the case and if it was me, that would be the last we would talk to each other for sticking so close to his ass at those speeds.

125,000 dollar Range Rover and the operator can’t parallel park. 1,500 dollar ‘04 Honda civic and the operator does donuts in reverse around the Range Rover. Never underestimate the operators skill.
