I wonder if she's married.....

[slim_boy_fat]

Yes, yes, she's old enough to be my granddaughter but you have to admire her skill. [Maybe this should be in the "Things that impress you thread?

 

[bourbon]

And if she falls off, Her arms won't be pretty!!

That is just impressive. Wrong for all the PPE reasons, but still impressive.

I suspect that's not the first time she's done that, doesn't mean she can't come to grief of course - as some of you 'bikeists' will no doubt attest..

That's called stalking

You mean generally, or after watching that clip?

 

[BarrieJ]

Well she's braver than me, not that it takes much, to be fair.
Back in the days of the Wall of Death, there were no shortage of women riders happy to push the limits of their bikes and themselves. Didn't one of them 'Pearl Dobish'? ride with a lion?

Women riders

She dresses like that to get the views.

Loads of female janglies on show in youtube.

That does not diminish her ability and bike control. Non riders will not appreciate how hard that is.

 

[angellonewolf]

nice riding skills

to be fair if it was a woman or a bloke good skills


i dont mind this on a clear area but as last week a twit was behind me less than 15 feet was trying a wheelie bugs me

 

[roofman]

Anyone who rides like that is stalk worthy

 

[doubleboost]

She can certainly handle that bike , not hard to look at ether .

I'm in awe, as I've only been on a pushbike once in my life...at age 41! I was in Oz visiting my sister and went to Rottnest island off Fremantle in W.A. with my niece. What I didn't realise that there were no vehicles allowed on the island at that time [I believe that there is a bus now}, but there was bike hire available. Feeling slightly stupid, I wheeled to bike out of sight of 'spectators', got on and pedalled off!!

As a kid I remember having maaany chances to learn, tutored by three older siblings but all I wanted to do was drive a car [even from age 4!]. I used to sit in the back, watching not the scenery, but what my Dad was doing. "OK, speed up, push left leg to the floor, move gear stick, let leg up, press right foot down....repeat....

Although slow by today's standards [kids are stealing cars at that age these], I had my first 'go' behind the wheel at age 12 while working in a petrol station in the school holidays.

OMG - I mean yes I noticed the rider was female but I was just watching the stunts - please tell me I’m not getting too old to notice a brazen display!

Reminds me of when I used to help a mate run mini-moto bikes at shows, kids pay a couple of quid for a few minutes riding round a fenced off area, they loved it.

One mum drags her son up, pays the money so I got him fitted with a helmet, showed him "twist this to go and pull these levers to stop" he goes a few feet and falls over (it's all on grass) so I ran through it again and gave him a push in the right direction, travels a few feet and falls off again, I said "it's just like riding your bike at home" and he said "but I can't ride a bike"

I've been riding motorcycles for 36 years and there isn't one part of that display I could do.
But I bet if she dropped my 300Kg Honda I'd have to pick it up for her

If I dropped it, I'd be trapped by the leg so someone'd have to help me because I'd NEVER lift it myself to escape.

It was a bit of fun really: Honda designed the thing to not fall all the way over - it lands on its engine bars. Doesn't even deck the panniers, exhausts or mirrors.
So you're only lifting it from about 30 degrees off horizontal, and when you're annoyed at yourself you have the strength of Thor
