Watch as BMW Motorrad engineers subject the company’s riding gear to a variety of tests including abrasion resistance, water resistance, tear resistance, and shock absorption. There’s no commentary or explanation, but it’s interesting to see the different devices used to conduct the tests.

A former Motorcycle.com staffer who has gone on to greener pastures, Tom Roderick still can't get the motorcycle bug out of his system. And honestly, we still miss having him around. Tom is now a regular freelance writer and tester for Motorcycle.com when his schedule allows, and his experience, riding ability, writing talent, and quick wit are still a joy to have – even if we don't get to experience it as much as we used to.

This is actually a pretty cool vid. Somehow it reminds me of this classic on the Differential: https://youtu.be/yYAw79386WI
Enjoy the precision riding first, or fast forward to 1:49 if you just want the mechanical stuff.
Very cool. No shitty music, no PR bullshit. Pure mechanical action.
