They should all have a group reunion and do 1 more Fast Bike vid, Shakey using the WSB spec 1098, Frosty on his 675. Lets get the petition started.

Apologies for digging this fossil up...

I am not a big Youtuber and found the Fast Bikes vids! Freaking mental!

We all ride fast... the odd wheelie, the odd dodgy over take but this!!


lol... its mental! These guys are skilled and slightly nuts too... woah!

On some of the vids you'll see a young chap named Shane.

Also known as 3 time BSB champion so pretty sure he's still alive! I can't watch the vids and then not want to ride like a knob, it brings out the inner nutcase.

After watching them, burnouts almost seem like a compulsory event whilst stationary hehe

Rob Frost is an instructor with the British Super Bike School.

(I found an old FB DVD a few months ago and had a Where are they now? moment.)

These videos made me want to get a bike more. So much so I bought a 1999 Fireblade so I could wheely like in the videos.

These videos I blame for my 5 bans.

I have to say although anti social they looked mental fun. So who were the riders?

Shayne Byrne
Frosty??
and...

Adam Child?

And there was another racer of the time who used to help occasionally too. What was his name? I'm sure he was wheelying a GSXR with Shakey in one of the videos.

Incidentally, it used to be far easier to ride like this in the old days. 15+ years later and it seems that jail time is the norm for those kind of shenanigans. Even France have got much tougher on speeders.

Sean Emmett was in the mag when I was a young impressionable wannabe, was he in some of the vids too or was he too 'pro' by the time they came out?

(and what happened about that whole thing in Dubai?)
