Shady Valley, May 2007, Spyda chasing Creed 2

This is a video of me on a Ninja 650 (parallel twin standard with dirt bike ergonomics) being chased by Spyda on a vfr 800 (v-four sport touring bike). I'm wearing an Aerostich Roadcrafter suit. At 5:30 I realize I am within eyesight of the guy who passed us at the beginning of the video. At the end of the video, you hear Spyda saying, "I can't believe you caught that guy." It turns out he was a local we met earlier at the country store. He rides the road often and knows it well. He was wearing full racing leathers and was on a GSX-1000R.

Desertman, chill out.

They arent even riding that fast. If you consider this 'giving bikers a bad name', then GTFO.

Plus its in the middle of nowhere TN so it doesnt matter.

Bad name? Yeah, me and the other dozen LOCALS that I met there on sportbikes in the span of 15 minutes who were rideing MUCH more aggressively than me. Why don't you go down to the store and preach to people in person rather than hiding behind your computer?

Nothing gives you the right to uses public roads as your own personnel racetrack. I have been riding for 20+ year and I have seen the way you ride. There is nothing safe about it. Once again, morons like you give the rest of the biking community a bad name.

BTW dont put you trash on the internet if you dont want people to comment!

As for being inbred, I don't think that you should be talking. Shady Valley and the surrounding area is a hell of a lot more "backwoods" than where these two riders are from. Did you see any unsafe passing here? NO. Did you see the bikes speed through the straight road in "town"? NO. Did you see these two bikes slow down in the left turn where the two cars were parked? YES. In other words, shut your damn trap.

Hey desertman. Get your facts straight jackass. Most of the people on the thread that you referenced are on the side of the motorcyclists. If you're trying to keep 421 in the 19th century you can forget about it. Things change. Oh, and I suppose that 4 wheeled vehicles never speed through there? Get a life rather than combing through the internet looking for ways to spread your hatred.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

[desertmansd]

You are an idiot. Morons like you give the entire biking community a bad name. Google "shady valley bike boom" to see all the hate and dicontent you and your inbread kind have caused.
