Gymkhana stuff is always great to watch - the amount of control required is incredible. I wish I could ride like that, but after a few spills you begin to fear corners :P Need to get out to a car park and work on some slow manoeuvre stuff again I think ^.^ Been getting better now that I have decent tyres back on the bike though :)

what's impressive in my eyes about this guy is that he never looks flustered, and is always looking way ahead, he just makes it look so easy, but I do wonder if he actually does any police work, think he spends his days doing demos and training, but what a job!

This is more impressive though!

I've always said police riders are some of the best on a bike, great control... nice and calm.




I also like this video of the SEG riders in London... it's a bit long, but well worth viewing IMO... a bit of history to start, then the real riding goes from 4 minutes.

Now then you say especially on a Harley but would that actually make it easier - low center of gravity - high torque.
And yes give me someone elses bike to drop and practice and I could do that too
