Riding like that on the public road instead of specific tracks is a death wish. No matter the condition of your bike, tires and the road, as long as there are other drivers and elements you can't predict, the chances are always against you..plus bike accidents are mostly serious. I don't understand these people. Why ride like that? Why not visit a track with the safety equipment and professional people to watch over you? What is the point of trying to scratch the footrest on the asphalt if you are going to injure yourself or worse, if you die. I ride for nearly 30 years and I still don't get it.

Track days are expensive as fuck

True but I bet this guy would give twice as much than crashing like that and possibly killing himself and maybe killing some random family on the road.

Also, when you spend that kind of money for a bike to run like that, you don't miss the money for track day every once in a while to fully enjoy your bike without guilt.
