He's looking where he wants to go.

[–]Basbhat06 DRZ400SM 14 points15 points ago

I'm Gonna remember that one.

[–]the8thdwarf 28 points29 points ago

Slow clap. And then... BOOM... have an upvote.

I had a feeling he was going to crash from the last few frames of the gif.

[–]mahade 9 points10 points ago

Just wondering... how do I learn to drive like that? I mean, recently my rear tire slipped away from me in a corner and I know I could've held it if I didn't chicken out by just counter-steering and such, but I went straight to a free lane just because that was safer.

Off-roading seems like a good idea?

[–]firstwords2001 BMW K1200RS 19 points20 points ago

Yep, dirt. Get a 250 and go nuts. It is invaluable for doing the same stuff on-road. You are going to fall/slide when you start putting the rear wheel loose, and you need to be on dirt to do it easily.

[–]mahade 4 points5 points ago

Thanks! I'll look into local opportunities to get some off-road action. Seems like a ton of fun and makes handling a bike easier if you have a feel for it :)

[–]Xenious 3 points4 points ago

Get a supermoto. To back it in, you get in 3rd gear, pull in the clutch, drop into 1st gear and grab the front brake while releasing the clutch. Article: http://www.supermotoracer.com/SMR%20Tech%20stories/iss2_backitin.pdf

Not my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEG73UtODDc

[–]1600ccYamaha Bro'd Star 1 point2 points ago

I do that all the time on my Roadstar, but I rode dirt bikes for years before getting my street bike, so I've kinda always had that mentality.

[–]deja-vu-comment 15 points16 points ago

[–]GhlaveHonda DN-01 22 points23 points ago

This video makes me realize I'm not having as much fun on my bike as I thought I was.

[–]jimaug871982 XJ750R 5 points6 points ago

Dont' worry about it, you wouldn't have any fun at all trying to go out and do this.

[–]poptartsnbeer2004 Suzuki SV650S 6 points7 points ago

The behind-the-scenes video shows it wasn't quite as easy as the gif makes it look.

[–]HolyMackerelBatman07 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom 0 points1 point ago

Still looks like the most fun you can have with your clothes on!

[–]monocoque2012 CBR250RA 3 points4 points ago

what bike does he use?

[–]You_Are_A_Bitch2009 Suzuki GSX-R600 0 points1 point ago

Yes. I need to know.

[–]Force9000Lurker -1 points0 points ago

He recently got a new one, not sure what model but it is a BMW

[–]M3nt0R(NJ USA) 2000 Yamaha V-star 650 Classic 1 point2 points ago

I've been trying to find this out for the longest time.

Edit: Is it this one? The CBR 600rr?

[–]Kodiak_Marmoset 0 points1 point ago

That exhaust is from a CBR600RR, so it probably that.

[–]fragmedegsxr-6 0 points1 point ago

Dat rear wheel slide!

[–]M-Illusion 2 points3 points ago

Unfortunately this .GIF doesn't show the part where he crashes right after taking a look!

[–]RICH_LITTLE 3 points4 points ago

Original video here. The gif leaves out the funniest part.

[–]bushel1988 HawkGT & 2003 VFR 3 points4 points ago

I did just that very thing this morning on my ride in. The grandmother walking behind her gave me one of these: ಠ_ಠ

[–]Basbhat06 DRZ400SM 9 points10 points ago

She's just mad nobody is checking her out.

[–]lew01f500R 1 point2 points ago

I do this all the time but not as bad ass

[–]richard_photograph75 cb360 0 points1 point ago

jorian..awesome stunter

[–]sextc'00 cbr600f 4/ '07 250exf ninja -1 points0 points ago

Jorian is awesomeeee.

[–]Scooby186GS500E 0 points1 point ago

Is there a high res picture from this? Would be a nice wallpaper

[–]justinisme 0 points1 point ago

Ernie!!! Helluva nice guy.

DAT HEADTURN

[–]bleedscarlet 1 point2 points ago

I don't know why the gif stops there, he comically falls and does an almost handstand right afterward.

[–]spinnikerS3R/ CB500 Cafe/ CBR F2 1 point2 points ago

I fucking love Jorian. He is a great rider, but beyond that every time i have heard he interview of talk he seems like a genuinely nice person who has a huge passion for motorcycles. In all his videos he always looks like he is having the time of his life, even when he falls. If more people had this attitude, the world would be a better place

[–]justAnotherGhost 1 point2 points ago

Dat target fixation

[–]CndConnection 0 points1 point ago

Never underestimate the power of DAT ASS.

[–]czgheib 1 point2 points ago

That 600rr.

[–]HirudinaeVicis 0 points1 point ago

Would have been SO much classier without the text. Just the look says it in so many more ways.

[–]J0EKR 0 points1 point ago

I watched him counter steer like 10 times. Is something wrong with me?

[–]bikegirl802010 Kawasaki Ninja 250r 0 points1 point ago

This is the part of the motorcycle world that really turns me off.

[–]PhilTabonyHonda VFR 400 NC30, Honda CB250 (cafe racer project) 0 points1 point ago

its missing the part just after where he low sides it

[–]Sleestaks1997 Yamaha XT225 -4 points-3 points ago

She is hot..
