The stability control stuff in the camera does quite a good job of
making the ride seem smoother and more relaxing that it actually is.

cockpit footage of Peter Besenyei doing aeros.

Fairly spirited road sidecarring.

 

I got the impression he was closer to his limits than he was to the limits
of his outfit.
