    ......clear evidence that they do go around corners with ease.
    Thats some skill for sure, wasn't mucking around either, but with a bike of that weight and size you wouldn't want to, would be a bastard to pick up.

    Head position and momentum are the key elements.

    Impressive! Wouldn't want to stall it, though. Says a lot for the motor's tractability...

    Is actually the crash bars scraping. And should he go right over, the crash bars would hold the bike fairly clear of the ground.

    There are several groups of performing police officers, believe it or not, that tour shows at Laconia and Daytona etc.

    Hahaha. The crash bars are like chrome training wheels. It's impossible to fuck that up

    The vid is similar (in a remote sense) to the "ride like a pro series" all done with big cruisers.
    In that series of vids a rather slight woman picks one up and puts it on a stand by herself. But in no way do they fall as far as some.

    Yeap, is the floorboards touching down first now I've had a closer look.

    Crash bars touch down to in a few places. And they'd still keep you upright for the most part, should you lean a bit to much.
