Rep Power: 258 I have driven in traffic in NYC that is pretty bad, every man for yourself type deal, but it was not nearly as bad as the traffic in that video. I still think i could drive in it though, just gotta pay attention.
I remember when I first went to NYC I got there at like 4pm when everybody is walking home in manhattan. It was nuts, the people traffic was much worse than what was in the video, the only thing I could compare it to would be driving through an amusemnt park. I had to just drive through them, and hope they would get out of the way, or at least make sure they saw me. There is a lot of trust involved. It is jsut a lot crazier in other countries like India and China where they do it with cars to the extreme.

Rep Power: 279 i pulled off a wheelie like that on a buddies Katana. the carbs were kind of messed up and it didnt like lanching at low rpms and i gave it a little too much the fron tend came up feet dragging and i had to let off the gas a bit and let the front end come down and gun it again to keep it going so it wouldnt stall. this was on a semi busy main street in san clemente, ca. it was scary but not as scary as riding that same bike with bald tires doing 120mph+ trying to catch up with the owner on his other bike 96gsxr
