whew...I think I could have possibly ended up in the grass on a couple of those turns

GRASS? Hell, I'd have flipped so hard I would still be flying.  :ohwow:

So about how fast are those guys going?  I see one of them sticking out his foot a couple of times...I would be way to scared to do that...that ground flying past me might grab it and rip it off.

Pretty damm fast. At least 100+ mph than we were going on the entrance ramp.  :angel:

Max speed near the bottom stated as 212 mph.
Yep, don't think I will be attempting this at all...I mean you and I were going 110+ on a straight ramp...there is no way I would attempt speeds faster than that on a curve...they are impressive when they do it tho.

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

I've had the X hard over on a ramp at about 95mph.  Can't say I have the cojones to go any faster than that while leaning on any kind of public street.  The bike jumps and wobbles a lot even at that speed...

WOW...............That sure is some skillful ridding. They lean so much, they are almost kissing the road  :ohwow: . I'll stick with my X and cruise at 75 MPH.
