Got to love the bit that says all bikes are standard except for Matt's Nightster. Then the only bike you see him doing anything on, other than scraping the running boards or wheelying is.......the Nightster.

I like these videos but anyone stupid enough to think that is what Harleys are all about deserves to own one.

Klincky and I went to Craig Jones school and watched him do similar with Buells.He had a go of my SDR and you could see he was impressed with it.

These guys will ride anything they are sponsored to ride but if they had to spend their own money I reckon there would be less Buells and Harleys and more KTM's

i think there's two demographics of harley owners, criminals and accountants, and they're not spending their own money either!
matt mingay can ride just about anything like that, he has serious skills!

I went to the release of the BMW 1000R at the sunshine coast dealership.

Matt did a stunt show on the Harley .....wheelies and burnouts in the under ground carpark with limited headroom and concrete pillars everywhere. What a show, a pure professional !

He can certainly ride a bike!

My Harley was the only bike my better half actually enjoyed being on the back of. In a multiple bike garage they have there purpose. A low narrow 1200cc Sportster actually makes a good city bike with huge torque right off of idle. It's just not all that sporting when there's actual time and place for sport. And then there's the vibes, not problematic in city driving, open road

Great skills.... I wonder how long the engines and gearboxes lasted?

Our Buell would be hot enough to melt leather, and the chocolate gearbox would be fooked, if it was ridden like that for more than five minutes.

anyone that can wheelie well will be able to figure out how to wheelie anything. the feel and balance are the same just have to figure out the powerband.
what the deal with the music on vids. man it ads nothing to whats going on!

I've been road riding for the last 25yrs and I've allways given a nod to other riders when out,

I'm yet to be aknowleged by a HD rider, whether an accountant or outlaw, so I stopped bothering long ago.

I haven't had the SD long, so remains to be seen if they'll lower themselves to aknowlege a different v-twin.

I've had mates with HDs and my own brother's got a custom chopper, but for the life of me I can't see the attraction
of a bike that doesn't go, doesn't stop and doesn't handle.

I used to work at a motorcycle part/apparel shop and the few years I worked there, it was the sportbike riders that were the biggest Dicks... (And I was a sportbike rider at the time.) I found that there certainly are Dicks in all types of riders, but the sportbike riders were the most arrogant of them all...

Today I live in Wisconsin so as you can imagine I see my fill of Harley's on a daily basis, and here at least most of them will nod, wave whatever... even when I had my Aprilia RSV..

Also when we all stop at the local watering hole they are always interested in the Superduke and generally will join in on some good-natured bashing.. Generally

For the record though.. I friggin HATE Harleys... The only one I would even THINK of placing my ass on would be a V-Rod.. And even at that.. Well... Alright still can't do it.. not even the V-Rod..
