Somewhere on You tube you will find coppers in America doing the same on police bikes
I did a four day course in Seattle earlier this year with the Nortwest Motorcycle school. You can see them on youtube.
The course looks easy. Trust me its not. After the first day I was shattered.
As I ride a Goldwing I needed to improve my slow riding skills which the course has done. I now practive over Focus carpark on the weekends to keep the skills up.
My bike upright turns in a 22 foot circle I can now get it to turn in an 18 foot circle.
I would have PAID to have seen that/their faces! :D ;DQuote:

Oh bloomin ek.. I m even less skilled than I thought I was watching that........ :-[
True confidence & commitment... Imagine them at a trackday??!
You would be suprised how different a skillset you need for track compared to "'motogymkana" not sure on the spelling... but I actually spent some time looking up the technique for it and whereas on track the aim is to get you center of gravity as low as possible in motogym... MG... they sit on top of the bike if you see what I mean... try it next time you're in town :) as you go round a corner keep yourself upright and just lean the bike under you, it feels a bit strange at first but actuly feels much more stable.
There's loads of stuff on the net about it :)goooooogle!
We call it 'counter leaning' mate. Yeah, good technique for tight and slow stuff... ;)
