Here is another one, his lines are right, he cuts the other riders out one at a time, chooses the line that the pass will be made on, before the entry to the cornor, sets up, makes clean effective passes, that make the other riders look slow.

This is obviously a well organised & fiercely competitive sport in Japan. These guys are super skilled.
Note to self: If ever in Japan don't try to outrun the traffic cops

You can't tell me Mr. Spencer is any better than the camera bike pilot!

It's all in the title of the thread...what more can I say??
Spencer is great,
Rainey is better IMO, the rainey Kevin Schwantz battles were great. I never met Mr Rainey, but when he had his accident I was really sad. The sport lost something when he finished as a rider.

Watching the japanese folks doing that course, I never saw anybody drop a knee in those turns. It seemed they were all sitting naturally and just letting the bike go where it needed. But you see racers hit turns and lean way over and drop a knee. Is that just a high speed -vs- low speed thing? So the faster I am going, I should move more over the bike in a turn? I felt that the throttle/brake control by those folks in the course were ninja good. Wish I had 1/2 of it. Anyone can go fast... lol

I couldn't believe what those cops were doing. I'd never have thought that someone could lean so hard as such a slow speed without falling off. Neat little 180 degree burnout turn too. They would complete the MSF obstabcle course in about 5 seconds!

Actually, they has tons of special training and, using lean-out or lean-with form to ride at low speed. On the low speed riding, we cant use centrifugal force so much and need to take balance of bike. Flankly speaking, width of road is narrower than western countries. Cops need this skill to chase people done bad behaviour in city or town.
At the day, I asked queston of their bike suspension and, they never do any adjustment lol
Their tire??? Damn D204 but they controll very well........ .

Some people believe that hanging off produces perfect form. More tyre contact to the road surface at higher cornering speed for less lean.
Some riders never hung of like Mike "The Bike" Hailwood. A motorcycle genius and naturally gifted.
Hi Kumaj,
If you ever watch speedway (flat tracking) the riders have less speed also. I was amazed at how much balance the racers had just by using their hips.
