Nice. Those guys have some skills. I'd hate to think about how many drops, dents, scratches and digns it would take to get to that level, lol.

Very impressive. I think the Japanese police have a display team that really excels. I don't know if that's them or very keen and competitive civilians.

Cheers

I've seen quite a few of these Japanese agility competitions over the years, but that's the first time I've seen them using CB1100s.

It's a good illustration that you don't have to go fast to achieve peg scraping lean angles. Actually, this is how I scrub in a new tire. I find a big patch of asphalt at the airport and make low speed figure 8s until the sidewalls are thoroughly scrubbed.

These obstacle course events seem to happen fairly often in the South, and they're rather enjoyable. I most recently saw one hosted by the Jacksonville Police Department, at the local gigantic Harley dealership.

This isn't my video, but it's a good sample what you can expect to see:

Speaking with a fellow in the audience, he downplayed the showing as "all you see here is good clutch control, most any experienced rider can do it".
While I agree that it's a good part clutch control, throwing around an 800 pound motorcycle like it's a moped does not come without many hours of hard practice.
They do it quite well.
