Wonder if his panniers and top box were empty...... nice skills.

Yep, clever, plus his ground clearance is now improved as is the overall weight of the bike!

I've seen a few of these gymkhana clips now but that was seriously impressive.
The thought had occurred to me that I'd need a lighter bike to try that but then I found a clip of a guy doing it on a Speed Triple.
That was probably just in case I was developing delusions of adequacy.

This vid came up as a suggestion when watching on you tube. Impressive as well.

Ok, in all honesty, how would one go about practicing something like this safely? Other than just finding an empty parking lot and trying not to fall over...
Best Frenemy you could have!
Sounds like a plan to me... what else would you suggest?

Where else? I'd rather do it in a parking lot than on the street anyway.. But you'll fall over for sure - do it in a parking lot close to a&e/hospital.. you'll thank me later.

You got it. Find an appropriate space & off you go. We use half tennis balls, easy to carry, to set up our courses & GP 8's. I've only fallen off once, just trying wayyyyyy to hard. I ran out of front tire.
Check out THIS thread for vids, technique & discussion. Slowly but surely motogymkhana is getting noticed & it is an easy safe way to develop great control skills. The guy in the vid & a lot of the Japanese riders are the car park equivalent of aliens. I video a lot of my practice to see what I'm doing wrong & right. It feels epic to me riding but the videos are boring as hell. Useful for training, though.
Can't find it now but their is a vid of a guy two up on his Goldwing grinding his way around a course & I recently saw photos of somebody on a v-max having a go with a trailer in tow.
Do eet!!

Carver was as good as those guys on his Dad's ST1300

ST's are amazingly nimble for a lard arse. Built in crash bars too. I rode an 1100 along a ditch once but shall say no more
