    Now replace tires, clutch plates, brake pads, and suspension.... just kidding but that was pretty good, fun to watch definitely not easy to imitate however... and as for people in the GTA, i have yet to meet anyone from this forum, still fairly new myself

    That rider is good. The advanced rider courses will teach you to lean your bike in to turns similar to this and trust it. We may not get to this level of trust, but the course is good for everyone. Thanks for sharing this vid.
    It's understanding that makes it possible for a person such as myself to tolerate a person like you.

    Wow ... very cool. Those guys look like they're really throwing much bigger bikes around, much tighter cornering too (feet on the ground =[) .

    There's American cop versions of the same (youtube 'police bike rodeo')... except they're doing maneuvers I wouldn't have expected a bike so big to be so proficient at... either way amazing to watch.



    I know there's autocross in parking lots all over the place that anyone can try for fun... there has to be something similar for bikes (!?!?). I do realize what Armen444 is saying about having to upgrade parts... took my old '85 911 out to an autocross a couple of times... certainly puts a beating on machines that aren't used to that kind of workout.

    Still! I think it would be a fun alternative to high speed track days. Of course I'm just guessing, never done that either. =]

    No.. I have looked myself. What I was planning on doing was buying a crapload of pylons and doing this myself for fun.

    These go to show towards the idea that approx 99% of falls are due to rider error. Not due to something else once the ego is set aside.

    Just saying.
    Simoncelli apparently was asked if he was afraid of dying in a racing accident & he responded: "NO. You live more for 5 minutes going fast on a bike like that than other people do in all of their life."

    Life's time is finite. Be honest & Let's Ride.

    Not to take anything away from the guy. Obviously talented but those bars aren't stock and I'm pretty sure those tires are made out of an advanced form of crazy glue.

    When I was taking my M1 exit test at the MTO, the guy two before me was on a harley. They had the cones spaced WAY apart, he did them easy. The next guy in front of me was on a supermoto, they pushed the cones super tight, super moto just ripped them. He pulled up beside me after the test, we compared our steering lock to lock, LOL!

    Yeah, dude in the vid has some crazy steering setup

    Dress for the crash, not for the ride...
