Default Goldwing...on the track???!

Video of me following an instructor for the Lee Parks Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic for a few laps on his Honda Goldwing. This was filmed on the infield roadcourse at NHMS in Loudon, NH during a trackday hosted by TonysTrackDays.com

Well my first thought was WHY?

But as I watched it I gotta say that wasnt so bad, if I looked at the tail lights for to long I would think what the hell is that car doing leaning .

Good vid. Would love to see the look on some peoples places when they got passed by him.

Pretty much, yeah.

I do video for TonysTrackDays.com, and the opportunity to get video of John on the Wing was too good to pass up. It'll definitely do him some good with his Lee Parks ARCs, as it really shows what you can do with the right training.

My reaction is WTF? I took the ARC from Lee last year, and all we got to do was ride around in a parking lot at 25mph. Is this a different course?

This wasn't part of the course, this was a trackday held the day after John finished teaching a class. It's only noteworthy that he instructs ARCs because, really, where the hell else do you learn bike control like that?

I'd heard of that guy, heard stories about cocky sportbike riders asking if he was sure he could keep up to film them, then being surprised when he passed them to film from ahead.

He posted a couple weeks ago on a thread and had a pic of his bike at the track. And that is a very impressive display on the gap lol. Holy shit is it.

YouTube - Ducati 999s followed/filmed by Yellow Wolf -Deals Gap part2

LMFAO here he is with a poor bastard on a 999 trying to catch him. Man I think I would sell my bike.

This is worthy of its own thread.
