Here's me chasing the Bonnie, and another one illustrating my tight lean angles (and less tight girth).
Although it's nice to figure out the limits, there's no danger I'll be challenging for the superbikes championship, and Hanoi streets are not the place to be illustrating your amazing suspension - driving on the limit here would be a very short life.
I'd like to add that the cost of this 4 hours was 80,000VND. Less than $4 each. There were quite a few exotic bikes there that you're free to ride swap with. Think I'll try the CBR1000R Fireblade next time.
I will find address for anyone who wants to join. It's held every Sunday, come rain or shine, in Long Bien (over the river), about 20 minutes away from Hoan Kiem Lake in the centre.
It looks like a driving test centre to me - certainly there were quite a few cars driving through under what appeared to be instruction / supervision

S2R, where is that track in Hanoi? I've spent a few weeks living in west lake area, specifically the intercontinent hotel.
And is that track normally used for testing riders for their scooter license?
