Moving to fast for me to see wheels under the floorboards.

I don't think those are wheels. I paused to see under the floorboard and it looks like the mount.

That was good real good...

That is just a bracket a buddy of mine has a retired police bike maybe two or three years older than the one in the video. That is wicked awesome though on that heavy.

That was some amazing skills.

Takes me back to my MSF course. I had been riding for awhile, just around the neighborhood on my friend's CB125. I was in the class with a bunch of old ladies and stuff and so I felt like hot #$%* because they didn't even know the basics. Then the instructor says "now do a figure 8 inside this box..." and it was like, "huh?

?" I always hated the low speed maneuvering.

Although her skills were NOTHING like those displayed by this rider, this clip reminds me of an incident when we moved from Texas to Ohio in 1975. My wife had been riding her own CB350 and then moved up to a CB500 in Texas for about 4 years on a learner's permit - I had to be within sight of her when she rode.

When we moved to Ohio, they didn't have a comparable license, so she had to take the riding test to get her full-blown motorcycle license. The motorcycle examiner came through our small(er) town once a month, so she made her appointment and showed up at the shopping center parking lot to ride the proficiency course - on her CB500. There were huge guys there that were riding CB90s, CB125s, etc. hoping that they could squeeze them through the cones - their jaws hit the ground when Sandy cleaned the course first time out on her CB500 Four.

Even though she's not an active rider any more, she still keeps her motorcycle endorsement back here in Texas.

Doing the figure 8 on my Venture is actually easier than the 750. My Venture is 800lbs

LostSoul86 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 22, 2011, 06:39:45 PM »

I think I'd take out at LEAST 1 cone

I think he learned that by dodging traffic trying to get to the drive up window at Dunkin Donuts.

TrueSpin · « **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2011, 08:34:35 PM »

You hear him put peg a few times, but nary a boot touches that pavement once he's movin'.

754 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 23, 2011, 08:49:34 PM »

He probably has the boards folding up and graunching on the mount and back corner of the primary.
Would not want him chasing me...

Low speed handling has more to do with riders skill than bike setup.
