I love it when this video pops up.
Here it wasn't the bike, it was definitely the rider. Look at all that cornering clearance left on the right side. He just freaked out and fixated... and so did his buddy.
Actually with the new MSF advanced rider Course and some of the older courses like the Lee Parks Total control you can really see how well cruisers can corner. They might not be as fast as a sportbike, but my friend Marcus makes alot of money racing sportbikes up 33 from Va into West Virginia on a shadow 600.

OMG! Crazy!
Hmmm.... Why didn't the guy in the car stay back to see if the dude needed a drive to the hospital?

Spot on 'storysunfolding'.....& the car going 8MPH is not helping either.

Looks like the rider in the first video would've crashed whatever bike he was riding.

I think they felt kinda responsible and were worried that the Harley riders were going to blame then beat them...and yes, Harley's can turn...I'll post up a video of Harley's in a tight course...
Later.

It's not the bike, it's the rider...
I know it's a short one, but I kept forgetting to take out the camera...was a pretty good demo...I didn't get the coppers and baddies "chase"...OOPS!!
The police on the Harley's were keeping up to the guy on the dual sport bike...pretty impressive...
Later.

Woohoo, the Sea to Sky Highway, prior to the improvement made for the 2010 Game also known as the highway of death. Rode it last week to Squamish, a hell of a lot of fun going up in light traffic, not so much coming back in traffic.
