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.....

Well yes I can do it, as long as no one is watching and there are no cones ...
.

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... 


All I can say is Amazing!
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.
