    It seems more of a memory test than a riding test. Where to next...? A running commentary from the rider identifying potential safety hazards would add to the experience haha, let's see our own pigs do that, priceless.

    Not as elaborate, (There's a cop that's done a lot of cones) but I have seen NZ Police Officers do similar on Honda ST and BMW's.
    For Bona Fide organisations or clubs the instructors will even demonstrate and instruct.

    Pretty impressive altho having a lean indicator called floorboards probably makes it easier than first thought BUT I couldn't do it ain't no doubt about that - I'd kill 1 or 2 dozen cones at least

    I'd clean out hundreds!

    You own a Harley don't you? Looking forward to the video. Don't forget to brush your teeth and iron your uniform, Kiwi pride and all that.

    Apart from the rider what about the cones...all those bloody cones in neat rows and curves and only a few non metric units apart.

    To me the impressive thing is the tightness of lock that the Harley has that is as good as a decent dirt bike from what I could see. Try and run my road bike around that course and I'd be on the ground when the damn thing hit the steering stop.

    im sure I could turn my bike that tight. But it would take about 1.5 minutes to do it 1 time and would involve both feet on the ground and a quick waddle.
    & no having footplates as lean indicators would not make it any easier. I can put mine down on roundabouts but try not to.
