Presumably a training camp or something? Incredibly impressive either way!

Wasn’t there a video years ago with people riding mini bikes and scraping their helmets on the floor?

No, not that helmet, the one on their heads….

Like most of us he is stronger on one side, his right leaning is a bit "off".

When I moved to a right side driving/riding country it improved my fear of leaning over too far on the left side, as I was used to leaning right more (roundabouts) in the UK.

(Incidentally, I was sent a video of an American mate in Cal' riding with his mates, amazing roads, and every single one of them stuck their knees out at any chance they got, even going around little corners. In fact everyone was doing it! Very odd to watch)

I convinced these spanish/italian tiddlers are best because they get out of shape on scooters and the like from an early age.
Meanwhile in the rich UK people jump quickly to huge powerful bikes they are scared too early.
If you are having fun in your little moped gang them one fool gets a big bike ,just stop hanging around with them lol.
Dont be tempted to ruin your fun.

Used to get the crash bars and 1 into 4 exhaust on my Z500 down on nearly every right hander. The angle wasnt much . It upset my girlfriend. Stopped her falling asleep.

Way too simplistic! You've completely ignored the climate advantage Spain and Italy have over the UK, and the fact that both countries are significantly less densely populated so they have space "to play".

True I guess. I can barely drive my car anywhere without it being spoiled by some situation. How or why do people buy fast cars,hypercars and the like. Just crashing over endless bumps and potholes must spoil it.
As for a 1000cc 200hp superbike? for some reason ducati sell tons of their torture instruments but I dont think the other factories are so lucky..

That's on the training area at Cartagena circuit
You can see why the Spanish kids are growing up to be so good, as they have afterschool clubs there where kids as young as 4 or 5 are doing huge volumes on laps on mini moto's every day with properly structured training
I've sat there and watched them at that young age where they've wet the track and get them tucking the front into corners and saving it on their knees
