    And the Yanks do it on Harleys. But a bit more slowly and I'm sure its their panniers that stop them from falling over.

    Excellent handling skills!
    Note to self: Find some cones and get out there and practice more.

    Holy !!!!!!! That's frigging awesome! Kind of like the jet sprints of motorcycling.

    I'd bet Andrew Templeton of RoadSafe in Petone could give it a good nudge. Perhaps it's part of the super-advanced (spend more time riding than anything else) course.

    What an awesome sport, exactly what I need to be doing. I did feel sorry for the Yank cops though, their bikes look so awkward. Would be good to get a few people together here, steal some cones find a big car park and have a go

    I'd call a repost, but I guess it has been a couple of years

    Still very cool.

    Respect for those skills. Wish someone would train me so I'm that good.

    Repost, but awesome all the same. It's a good form of motorsport for confined places - i.e. Japan. Perhaps we should start trying it at the bucket track?

    Edit: The Japanese cops. OMG. I guess you'd have to get over your fear of dropping it, eh?
