Another for Mtn Biking and photography, but also built and flew two small aircraft.
I used to be big into 4 wheeling and dirtbikes. Nowadays I pretty much dive and hunt.
It's much easier than it looks. The thing about a motorcycle is that the spinning of the wheels cause a gyroscope effect. The only thing a motorcycle wants to do is stand straight up. And the faster you go the more stable they feel in corners like this.
It's not so much about the wheels sticking as the balancing act between the force of gravity acting on your body and the gyroscope of the wheels that fight it in the opposite direction. You do it with street bikes (even very big ones) as well, although it's hard to find places where you can get up enough speed that you need to lean that far down.... and you have to watch out for pot holes and dirt on the road, which I found out the hard way (ouch!).

p.s. Btw, the word you were looking for is huevos (spanish for eggs)

Thank you. I was having a senior moment and for the life of me couldn't figure out how to spell it. Funny though because I do know some spanish, I live in California after all.
So I figured WTH, I'll just spell it out how it sounds and I'm sure people would know what I meant.
Whitewater rafting, especially the Grand Canyon, golf and shooting. Always get at least one dive trip a year.
