That thing is SCAPING the ground the entire time... You don't have to worry about falling over... it is already "on its side" I can do that!

Scraping the ground or not, that is very good and takes some serious practice.

 

[ITSME]

:rockon: thats some awesome control right there!

Interesting how he is constantly "blipping" the throttle; obviously he makes it work for him.

I'd pay to see you out ride a motor cop on a closed course. I'm betting you'd wind up on your ass, or swimming in cones. The guy is a great rider and throws that 800 lb bike around like it's a toy.

 

[Red Wazp]

Oh sure he can ride sober, but how about after a few cold ones like most Harley riders.

Well Mr. Unimpressed... Try this one then and tell me Dave is "scraping" the entire time. I'll bet any money you'd be the loser in this competition!

Wow. Pretty amazing!

How come motorcycle cops don't wear full faced helmets. Don't they watch Leno!!!

 

[cv_rider]

We saw a similar clip about Japanese motorcycle cops. It was cooler looking to me, as they were on smaller bikes, so they were going quite a bit faster. What type of bike is that in the second video? Looks like some kind of Beemer.

I've too wondered why MC cops wear such minimal gear. Short sleeve shirts, no gloves, regular pants. Basically nothing except boots and an open face helmet. Are they so darn good that they never go down? Or maybe crashing your bikes is not on the top of your "danger list" when you are a cop.

This is exactly why you never run from a motorcycle cop. These guys are so good. I would be willing to bet that one of the new bmw's with one of those cops on it could keep up with any average biker anywhere.

Haha! Classic! A good point well mad sir!

 

[OZXJR]

Now those guys are seriously good riders ! I wouldn't have a hope of doing that.Great post fellows

These guys aren't too bad either:

I think the most impressive part of the first clip, is that the guy remembers the course. It's all marked with orange cones. I'd get lost half way round & have to ask for directions.

 

[GConn]

Yeah, he has skills... who needs a proper helmet or motorcycle gear? Too bad they don't promote safety too while on the bike

 

[Sawblade]

I want to see someone do it on a ninja 250.

 

[ms mrdr]

Yes, I too am directionally challenged..I'd be lost.
