Dam he's good. I wouldn't even try. I can feel the pain already.

Did you notice how high up the foot pegs are. mine would grind at every turn.
Many say live to ride, I say ride is to live.

Yeah, i noticed that. Mine would scrape as well. It was humbling to watch this after just completing the required parking lot course for my license and feeling pretty good about myself.

Hey that was really cool. They didn't mention that's what the MSF test is like in Japan .... :laughing:

Seriously that sounded like a 125 ... I think with a little practice it would be possible on a bike th at small. I'd like to give it a shot - looked really fun actually --- Sorta like Auto-X for bikes. 8)

Thats a VFR400F. I posted this up several months ago before the hack and it looks like a total blast. I just sold the perfect bike for this (VTR250), but would love to have a track like this set up near home. A great way to test your skills without risking your life.....

That makes me want to go find a cheap ninja 250 or equivilent and go do twisties even more than before! I like tight corners, I can tell since I keep scraping my engine guards on my Alphasport...haha. Doesnt quite have the ground clearance for impressive lean.

If i didnt have to worry about paying insurance, I'd probably start looking for a cheap second bike. Ugh, my girlfriend is still getting used to me havint the bike I have, let alone getting another one... I'll have to pass until next season at least...unless someone wants to give me one....then I might be able to justify it. :laughing:

I didn't notice this the first time, but he was braking... and hard, while leaned over. That's some impressive brake control.

I wish I was able to do that. Heck I wish I was able to ride. Looks like I have 2 new goals.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
