Amazing riding!!

Love watching these. It's the way they grab a handful of front brake to compress and turn tighter that gets me. Added to the pull up on the bars to give more front compression = 1 hell of a London courier :lol

It's impressive to see the American cops doing it on their fully dressed Road Kings.

Is it me or are those bikes not custom made as in very short wheel base? Regardless amazing skills.

great riding but I can't help but think that if WE had a bike that we weren't arsed about dropping, then we'd be throwing it around a fair bit like this rider. Not saying we'd be as good but we'd have a good go :lol

I would imagine his tyres are like hot chewing gum as well, but admittedly it is impressive all the same.

I ended up watching this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-uGu3R2l6cc and it struck me that half the accidents were avoidable, even the ones caused by car drivers.

Apart from the one where the guy reversed into the bike, I would say that probably *all* of them were avoidable by either a) defensive riding or b) not riding like a twat!
