Holy Geez ! Ya really have to wonder how much practice time he put in to perfect that manuver. Seriously, WoW, on a Harley ? You could hear him scraping the floor boards. Great rider.

A perp running on foot wouldn't stand a chance!!!
There are several other guys doing the same course, but I think this was the fastest time on it. The guy is incredible. Never once put his foot down, or even bobbled. I think this feller was prolly BORN on a bike!
When I did the MSF course years ago, they had us doing figure 8s in the space of ONE parking spot...I said there was no way in hades I could do it, but...it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.....phew

Well yes I can do it, as long as no one is watching and there are no cones ...LOL.
 It is all about head and eyes and dipping and clutch and brake and throttle....
I practice doing the maneuvers every chance I get, but to do it in the confinement of cones, no way...
I ride (a lot) and when the need arises to make a quick turn around in a confined space, I watch the other riders put their feet down, turn over , back up and pull up etc..  I take my Harley Ultra Classic and turn it between the lines and just drive away as if it is just a simple turn ...
 I now have a second bike and am thinking of selling my Corvettes, well at least maybe two of them. I need something to drive when it snows... Wink

All I can say is Amazing! Cool  A perfectly executed run thru a course like that .... I too took the MSF quite a few years ago & was shocked at some of the tight maneuvers I was able to repeat on my bike (which I would have sworn was too large to even fit between the cones, never mind make the corners we were required to make).  I can't imagine - just incredible.
