17-minutes long, but worth it. Dial-up users need not apply...

That's uh....

Pretty damn good.

I could do the 90 left and right one and uh...maybe the 140 one lol.


On the slow one he like, practically stops in the middle and still keeps it upright. I wonder if he put a leg down? Can't tell from the camera angle/cones.

Leg down = no no

FWIW, I am able to stop and remain upright for a few seconds at traffic lights.

That's one of the things our MSF instructor taught us. The key is to keep your weight centered and your eyes on the horizon the whole time. You also need to be really comfortable with your bike.

Amazing control...the cones were only as wide as the bikes.....

Just proves you don't need speed to be impressive... :lol:

Such good riders yet the bike cops never seem to ride safely. Always cutting through traffic, wearing half helmets, riding side by side, wearing cotton trousers and hoping that almost knee high boots are going to protect them.

I have to admit though, the way the guys ride around here with half helmets and no scarf, mask or anything is impressive.

It would be an understatement to say that's some really impressive low-speed maneuvering skills. :shock:
