    Bike is sponsored by Magpul, think EBR

    Pretty cool video with lots of angles, be sure to watch for
    his off road adventure part way, and listen how the engine
    changes it's tone, perhaps due to altitude, and his different
    approach to the corners as he gets higher up.

    Oh and the sheer drops are unreal, you don't want to screw up

    I been up both mt the Washington auto rd and colorado st rt 550 aka million dollar highway of death. Always wonderd about pikes peak,thanks for posting that.

    Mt washington auto rd is 8miles long. The first 4 miles not so bad. The last 4 miles scary. Very narrow road. Minimum to no breakdown lane. At least the road is mostly straight with gentle curves here and there.

    Colorado State rt 550 is scary for the s turns which are basically back to back to back u turns. Packed and 2 up aren't made to go 8-10mph as you navigate the s turns. Inside lane no so bad,outside lane scary.

    I will never ride either again.

    Piles peak road at least looks wide enough and with occasional guard rails.

    I watched that last week and thought the ending was interesting. Good rider and yea he lost his line at mid way and was a great recovery.
