That's a crazy vid. I think it's off a "Fast Bikes" DVD. Filmed in France. Rob Frost and Gary Mason are Racers in the British Series.

Fast Bikes Magazine has a bit of a reputation for pushing the limits. Gary Mason had a serious crash on a shoot and missed most of the 98 season. He's racing a Honda 600RR in AMA Supersport this year in the Corona team with fellow Brit James Ellison.

We ride on the left side of the road in Australia. Which makes it a bit weird when you see vids of these guys turning in, at speed, into (what feels like for me) oncoming traffic.

Not that those guys spend much time on the right side of the road anyway. :)

Looking at it again I think this may not have been filmed in Australia - I was told it was but the text on the website is in French.

No matter what these two are nuts! If I were being filmed with multiple cameras I'd notch it back a few degrees - won't want an eff-up recorded on tape.
