Leviathan is on a distinguished road
How come I never saw this movie before?
A little background:
The rider is a guy called Eli Fangas.
He works as a writer in several magazines here in Israel, and as a riding instructor in one of the 2 riding schools here.
He's one hell of a rider, especially when considering the fact that he started riding when he was in his mid twenties (about 10 years ago).
He got the Ten only about a month and a half ago- he traded his old Africa Twin for it.
A smart publicity move from the Yamaha representative in Israel, as Eli is regarded quite a role model around these parts.

Eli is responsible for one of the most terrifying experiences on my life:
During a riding course that I did a couple of weeks ago, he took me for a spin on my bike.
It wasn't amazingly fast (about 30 KPH) but during corners, my heart was in my throat.
In fact, the only time I was closer to the asphalt, was when I crashed.


Here's a road test he did on the F800gs (no audio, but it was in Hebrew anyway :-P )
