I'd be so dizzy I'd fall off my bike. It almost looks like what our bike officers have to do on their motorcourse with the big Harleys. Not quite that fast, but pretty technical riding. I know they ground the floorboards on the cone courses.

I tried it on a Buell in Peoria, IL on a huge parking lot all set up for a gymkana. I made it without crashing, but my time was not good enough to brag about. The kids beat me.

It looked to be an older VFR with the fairing removed. Go Tiff!

I would have been impressed if the "cage" aka mini cooper was up on two wheels at some point in that vid. Besides, who can't figure out how to do donuts in a cooper with the rear tires spinning?:toilet

Bo, the vid was a guy in Japan on a VFR running a "tight radius" course. Everything is in first gear only. Very tight turns, cone weaves, slow speed turns, mid speed turns, and quick accelleration between. The person riding exhibited plenty of rider control without leaving the saddle to negotiate the curves. See if you can right click the link to "save target as" and download the clip.

That definately reminds me of a Buell Battletrax course. I've heard that Japanese Motorcycle licensing tests are pretty tough.... LOL
