    I'm trying to picture my reaction if that guy was passing me on my Yammie, I'd be doing a double take for sure!

    Nice stretch of road, and great to see so many bikes taking advantage of it.

    I was watching some extreme kitesurfers down at the beach the other day and thinking what an exciting sport that must be. Suddenly it looks about as exciting as a warm bath!

    Yea, ...
    Well I did that.
    Faster.
    Blindfolded; too.
    Without wearing a helmet; either.
    At night.
    When it was raining.

    I hate to be a spoil sport, that is an awesome stretch of road but i dont think the video is real. I think the guy on wheels was added in after the fact.

    Notice how near the end of the video, about 2/3rds of the way through he goes through a bunch of shadows, his shadow is not at the same angle as the other ones indicating that the light source creating his shadow is different then the one creating the shadow of the trees for example. Also notice when ever he goes into a big shadow, he still has his own shadow.
