+1 on that Mick. I would have never known that was a video game if it wasn't pointed out to me. I was in college in 1974 when the first video game "Pong" came out. That's as far as I got. Unbelievable graphics! Still that video shows what the best GP riders can do.

I've always been fascinated by those Japanese motorcycle competitions. Lots of peg scraping excitement. It's an excellent demonstration that you don't have to go fast to scrape off your pegs.

Flyn, Youtube's newish practice of loading up and playing another video led me on to a not-so-interesting demo by a couple of Japanese police on CB1300s to this gem which made me realise old-fashioned crash bars have their place.

Wow, fooled me! Didn't catch that was CGI....I knew sliding happens all the time, I started to wonder about how professionals don't ever want wheelies as it slows them down....but darn that was fun to watch!
The low speed race is very cool! Just shows what you can do with limited space!
The crash bars, as ugly as they are...definitely worked....about 20 times! I need these!

Yeah, I saw that one. I was really impressed how well those crash bars worked. They bars were very well designed. It didn't look like the bikes' plastics were harmed at all by the numerous dumps.
