    Tablecloth trick...for bikers

    Anyone tried this? I reckon they did it a few times. I was trying to work out if this was possible with how smooth it shows. Not a wobble.

    Pretty cool none the less.



    You couldn't do it on a Harley

    They must have used silk linen. Slippery as an eel on a waterslide.

    P.S. BMW FTW


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Half the trick is leaving some slack so that the cloth starts to move VERY suddenly
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Yeah, I'm surprised they got away with so little slack.

    More big bikes to be seen at weddings methinks.

    Haven't seen all the new colour schemes yet. It's got pretty clever electronics : traction control and ABS , etc.(although could be said more to go wrong).

    I am not sold on this ABS and traction control thingies to be honest....I don't really like the idea of electronics taking over my braking, but then I have no experience with ABS or traction control on a motorcycle so what do I know.

    Wasn't to keen on electronics either but the technology has improved and it is now also more adjustable and less intrusive. I think it would be nice in the wet in a panic emergency situation.

    They meant to be pretty impressive when you use the different settings. Full throttle around corners and it want give you more power if you're at certain angles. Sit the bike up and it feeds it on. Of course that's rain mode. I think they're gonna do well. Styling is interesting, but shit if it can do this, who cares
