    Can you ride like this guy?

    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.

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

    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?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    childsplay - and no wheelies?

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

    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.

    Looks like someone caught me on film lane-splitting in rush hour on the Volty.
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!
