Hee hee. That's brilliant. Skilful. Smooth. And no freakin hanging off!

Great stuff.

Seen a similar thing with a gadger on an old airhead rubbing metal off his rocker covers.

Yes, seen this clip before. I think it's from some kind of exhibition/show that the japanese motorcycle police force have.
No 2 on the recommended similar clips on ”my” youtube is this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9MVY8swO5M
similar thing: american motorcycle police officers showing off their skills.
Pretty impressive, considering he's riding an electra glide!

Phew, he was lucky Al. Mind the way he rolled and jumped up a career as a stunt man could be in the offing.

Defo!

(Note to self; next time you're pulling a stunt like that at night, wire in a spotlight under your bike. Just so as people can see you're coming like)

Take another look - the bike is clearly (IMHO) not standard. The rear susupension does not move at all, the front barely moves, the bike does not pitch under acceration or braking therefore it is more stable.

It looks to move, especially the front. Maybe the bike is set up a certain way, I dunno. So what. People muck around with their suspension all the time. It's very skilful on any level, IMO.

Maybe the guy is light on his front brake. This would have a dramatic effect on how much the forks depress.

Let's face it, the bike is on its ear most of the time anyway!

There are so many idiots down at the Ace, and there are as many old ones, as young one.

Aye, looks like the handlebars are very narrowly set, but wotever its still impressive,
