That “OLD TIMER” is my son, Greg Gorman. He started with dirt bikes way back there in the mid 70’s. Loved this video, it did make this OLD heart beat a little fast. It was like watching him on the race track in Daytona or Road Atlanta. You all stay safe and have fun.
Greg Gorman is the guy wristy was riding with.He was a instructor at California Superbike School.And A pro racer.And won a unlimited Supersport championship in 1999 I believe.
I am 57 and still dragging my knees through the corners.I don't want to sound old,but we didn't have abs,traction control,electronic suspension etc,had to ride more on our own skill than relying on electronics.Just my opinion though,love the vids,definitely hitting the subscribe button.As we say in this part of the world."Keep that throttle cable stretched ".Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
As I have been telling you max, YOUR bike, the REAL one is coming soon. You HAVE the skills, but the bike you are riding may not be transferring your potential to the road because of the imbalance and the bent bars. That brother IS fast, yes, not to take anything from him, but you weren't 100% doe to your bikes handicaps. I also like the fact that you are so REAL and straight up. You ALWAYS tell it like it is and always acknowledge other riders, even if they appear to be faster, more skillful, etc. Love your honesty and the fact that you actually show both sides of yourself, win or lose. You ARE the man. God bless you and dayna, and all the riders out there. YOUR bike is coming soon.
CSS coaches are seriously good riders and really fast. I just did a CSS camp at Vegas Motor Speedway. I'm always humbled and improve. You should spend some time with them. They'll point out your riding errors, give you specific exercises, and you will improve to be both faster and safer.
I'm 53 and have been riding since the beginning of the sport bike era. And have had many sport bikes. People have no idea what it was like getting on these bikes for the first time in history. Cruising around on your CB750 or Suzuki GS then getting a ZX11 or a Hurricane. Complete insanity. What a time to grow up. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Love showing up the younger generation on a lesser bike. They have no idea until I take my helmet off. Have an FZ1 now with some suspension work and some power mods. Schooled a guy last week with an H2. 20 something on his first liter bike. No substitute for experience. We grew up in a different time. No electronic nannies to get you out of trouble, quick shifters, auto blip, abs, etc... were non existent. You had to know how to ride. We've seen it all and done it all and we're still here. Of course it helps to be a superbike instructor and pro like this guy lol. Track days, track days, track days. Practice then practice some more. If you're starting out get something easier to deal with and build your skill set, then progress to bigger bikes. I run into so many 20 year olds running out and getting r1's and busa's, etc... All set up with the go pros and their business cards promoting their Instagrams, and hardly any can ride worth a damn. Maxwrist is a great street rider but new riders try to be like him and it doesn't end well. Motorcycling is a sport. You need to work at it and be in shape mentally and physically to do it well. Be safe out there everyone.
don't feel bad, the old dude can ride....we old farts have a couple years in the seat on you so to say....you should keep hanging with the dude, he'll make you a better rider for sure, just my thoughts....keep ridin' bro
Two things. 1.- That bumpy twist jiiiizzzzzz! 2.- Greg just Smoke you straight to something beyond a Fatality. I never expect someone to pass maxwrist just like that.JESUSCRIST! I would love to go to his pilot school. He is a Master Pro. Jiiiiiiiiiz really was amazing.
Dude.. My dad is 67 now.. Never had controls... Has 5 bikes and one of them is the r1 98.. He power slides coming out of corners and makes us all feel very bad
Don't sleep on Greg Quattro-pipes Brutale..!!.8-)) However, I found wristy's pretty happy that someone like Greg finally arrived, has been praying for it, for a long Time.....he knew he need some "pull" like that to ignite him with fresh wave of "motivation"(he even started welding the same Evening LOL) ..!?! I loved it....8-)))
Yep. And as he gets passed Max says, "dude knows these roads". Result would be the same if they switched bikes on any other road. I do appreciated Max's need for speed, but he's got a need for more skill to match that speed. He can't seem to hold a line or understand where the apex is. Glad he at least posted the video shamelessly.
Holy shit that guy is quick, didn't realize that in the first part of the video where we see the pass for the first time, but later when we see how far he pulls ahead he was MOVING! Props to him wow Edit: I really wish somebody put a GoPro on that gentlemans bike that footage would've wowed everyone
Love it when my long "harley beard " sticks out of the bottom of my helmet when I am on my GSXR....get looks, only 47 years old, but "old" to be on a sportbike I figure!!
My message to the go pro toting you tubers is take it to the track, watch how the kids on bikes half your capacity make you look lame, learn what fast riding really is, maybe live a little longer too.
Max There is always someone faster out there. Did I hear something about 8 years in Cal Superbike school? Those guys can teach you things you never knew, even if you think you're good! Cal Superbike school is the best!! I had a 60+ year old guy on a CBR400R make my R1 look like it was stuck in reverse, and guess what I found out 'Bazza' (his name) was an ex TT racer. Stay safe bro👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He did a Maxwristy on MaxWristy 🤪🤪 👏🏻👏🏻 the Man was on it. You only learn to go faster by some one faster 🤷🏻♂️ it’s best you don’t say anything and just shake his hand 😎😎
super cool to be good in the riding group that guy Just like the bike chat and the journey you and Dayna has and max pass the super cars to be honest. The Parts of getting the bikes tuned meet ups etc... always epic to see missing the old crew with you but it is what it is:)
I cannot walk properly from cancer meds side-effects but put me on a bike. I might be 56 but I only know one way, 100% if road permits 🇿🇦 South Africa. Stay safe son and maintain equipment.
This is a very well articulated example of how riding skill works. Wristy is fast street wise, as in he’s pretty much going to be the fastest on any given ride... That’s actually considered slow compared to AMA pro level racers. AMA level racers are considered slow compared to WSBK, and they (world superbike) are slow compared to Motogp. The level of fast you can achieve almost never ends... I doubt wristy cares, he’s probably just happy to ride with a more skilled rider. It isn’t about jealousy, it’s all about getting better.
“Old timer”😆. I was in my 50’s had probably 200k miles under my belt. Mostly all in the mountains (Ozarks,Smokies). Did a number of track days on a well built SV650. Our local track outside of Tulsa a tight technical track. Lent it self to smaller, well built suspension bikes. A track day I’d been dancing with all the youngsters all morning. Smokin em up the inside in the corners, they’d pull me on their 600’s and liter bikes in the straights. At lunch as we were leaving the “Tower” I overheard 2 young guys behind me “that’s him right there!” How does he do that on a SV the other guy says. First guys says “and he OLD TOO”😆😆😆. I turned around and explained I rode 35,000+ a year, all in the twisties and keep practicing. (I proceeded to carry 10 mph too much down the front straight in the first afternoon section, grabbed one too many down shifts and high sided a mile high. “DUDE, THAT’s the highest I’ve ever seen a bike fly”)
I trusted my bike so I could lean with confidence to the almost edge of the tire one day it was getting dark & cold road was a little wet from night dew. I was waiting & making a left turn with very little lean in slow speed at a intersection. My bike lost traction on the crosswalk white paint that I didn’t see in the dark. I crashed my bike many times but it didn’t effect me much cuz it was my fault like bad handling. Since my bike lost traction in a slow speed I’m having a hard time to lean like before cuz of that little thing. I over react to gravels, black patches, leaves anything that’s on the road. Lol
I flew out to San Diego Friday. I was looking out the window wondering if you guys was riding. I’m in Tijuana till Monday then goi g back to San Diego before heading home. If you guys are anywhere around San Diego Monday let me know. I’d love to meet you guys.
I do the same thing but on downhill mountain bikes, It' funny when someone come up when I stop an ask how do you go so fast. I take my helmet off and say I raced here 10 years as an expert 5th in state 5 to 10 years ago. :-)
Off the chain videos!!!!! I would be scared that Iam coming into blind turn and be surprised by a stalled car or something, how would I avoid that at 100 mph.
@@evanhisey5898 I would but it's a little far from the east of England. Wait for my next vid and you'll see how my "slow ass 650r" hangs with a BMW S1000rr and a K1300's (twice the capacity) on a much faster run than than this and my last video.
@@lmesen1873 😂Thanks! if you want proof it can do better than this and keep up well with the S1krr and K1300, or just like watching a nice fast ride, you definitely won't be disappointed. Even the last vid shows it does well once we hit the dual carriageways (of course they go faster on the straights at high speeds, take a look if you haven't but the next one was a good run on good roads 👍
I'd be at 105 to 110 on the straight where he gets passed, on an r3. Not surprised he gets passed. I'd love to get a run in with wristy on the tighter section of this canyon.

I love meeting up with fellow riders. U can learn a thing or 2 and have fun. Enjoy your ride. 🔥
An Old timer? Damn Wristy, you are right... time to retire lmao.
I raced AMA Pro and taught California SuperBike School for 9 years.....!
Damn Wristy, old timer got game huh? Hey man, just remember that age is only a number bro.😎
Age is not just a number. Age is exactly how old you are. But that doesn't mean you can't ride hard.
Sounds like your alignment could be off with tip in fast and slow. Could be a bent frame too I guess, but check the alignment first.
Love your videos, it’s great to see a guy like you just go for it for the love of it, awesome!
Its always an old guy. I know the feeling.
Yeah he and that new MV Agusta Brutale 1000 rr are no joke.
