Nobody? There's not many twisties around there, but they have a billion acres of places to ride a dirt bike. Plus you can ride year-round, and hardly ever worry about rain. Housing is cheap, so you can buy a nice ranch. You can ride down to Mexico for Tequila, up to Laughlin for gambling, and to eastern Arizona for incredible roads and scenery. If I were only 40 years younger.

Good luck in that horrible heat during the day, and freezing cold at night.

That little sportster is no where near 900lbs. More like 550lb. and yes under perfect conditions it can be done but how often does your bike fall over on a non-skid rubber mat on a flat surface?

And I was going to mention "Skert". the lady that lifts the big BMW. Those bike always seem to have side bags and Boxer engines so the bike is never really horizontal. Also your video above Racer X is on a Perfect surface again. Not the gravel on the side of a road. Plus that woman is HUGE.

And I'm not saying it can't EVER be done but weighing close to 100lbs and picking up a 900lb bike on a road/gravel surface sure isn't easy.
