Can you ride like this guy?

[Mystic13]

I think I need practise.

This is kind of like gymkhana's for cars.

Does anyone run these in NZ. I think it'd be a lot of fun. Especially trying to beat the clock.

That's impressive - I'd still be trying to get around the first couple of markers without falling off!

I would have to do it without putting a foot out before i chased the clock. Looks like brilliant, cheap & relatively safe phun. If an event was held up here i would be in like a shot.:2thumbsup

This could be a test they make you do before you become a superbike rider :lol:

There's a Harley demo day at WMC coming up, we could try the Electra on this

[red675]

a thread a while back showed a cop doing similar (tho a bit slower) through a far more complex course of cones - they both appear to be American so maybe I've been totally misled - drop the speed limit to 55MPH and your skill set rises drammatically

Do they speak Japanese in America?

[YellowDog]

Would love to be able to ride like that.

[ManDownUnder]

childsplay - and no wheelies?

Everyone knows they're the real measure of a biker...

Dominoes Delivery Driver Training. :2thumbsup

I couldn't remember the course let alone ride like that.

[MDR2]

You've all got it wrong, thats the basic handling test they do in Japan :D

[jono035]

Stuff that... I'd have enough trouble remembering the bloody route, never mind riding it...

[Mystic13]

Okay, I agree simpler route but if we created the event would you be there?

My riding in that space may not be pretty but I'd give it a go.

[klingon]

Looks like someone caught me on film lane-splitting in rush hour on the Volty. :eek5:

[Zerker]

I'd go to training nights to learn to ride like that, but to jump straight in? there'd be no point unless I did it on the scoot :P

right at the end, you see a few "Out Takes"

[Metalor]

That guy deserves a handjob. I roeckon I could do the slalom cones pretty well though.

[TOTO]

yea mystic we do similar stuff to this at NASS every now and then.

edit: slightly slower tho :)

Can I ride like this guy? In short! NO! :mellow:

This looks very similar to a western European practical test to get the bike license.

I know England don't have these tests but for the rest of us this is what you have to prove you can do with your bike before you do your test in the traffic.

Almost 50% of all testers fail the first time on this test. And you practice 6months before, it is crazy!

Our in Sweden is a garage turn test with for cones. Then a track similar to this one with 20 cones and a test where you throw your bike in 50kmh to either the right or left to prove you can handle an object on the road.

Then you brake your bike in 50kmh at the end of the 20cone track and then you brake your bike in 70kmh and 100kmh.

We used a Honda CB 750 for a full license.
