Uh, no.  Not more than once.  Imagine snagging the left foot peg.  Yikes!  Although it probably isn't any more dangerous than driving around the city!

Ride it?
Oh sure!  And on a Gold Wing!
 :D

No, I don't even think I'd want to crawl on my hands and knees on that one. 
I bet the view is great though!

reminds me of when John Cardiel got skater of the year (thrasher) for ollieing from one ledge to another. the ledge was about skateboard wide and they were FAR apart. he had to go super fast on the tiniest ledge. guts, speed, determination was the headline.

and no, I wouldn't do that now. but 10 yrs back I would've, and did do lots of stupid crap just as crazy only in the city. racing through alleys at top speed with blind intersections in the middle of the night. stupid #$%* (me).

and a lot of times while lanesplitting I have a corridor just as narrow to work with, but there is no sheer drop... and I don't want to die anymore. just get home before everyone else.

   I would if I had to but I'd much rather be hiking in that kind of area. Riding it you'd be concentrating on the trail too much to enjoy the views. Imagine if the trail was blocked somehow or washed out and you had to turn around on one of those ledges. That's when it would get really dicey. If you were on a small light bike I don't think the ride is as dangerous as it looks.
