Great tip from Motorman Jerry Palladino in RideLikeAPro d.v.d.: if you have a front crash bar (engine guard, sorry Mr. Dealer!), you can flip the bolt on folding highway pegs 180°and they act as extra protection, like a cane, when drop bike --- crash bar doesn't even get scratched, and rear bars don't even hit ground!

I agree with the confidence remark: going into the tight turns with enough speed like on your old fave bicycle makes it easy to whip through and get that dip and recover feeling !

 

A few years ago, at the funeral of South Dakota Deputy/Veteran Chad Mechels, all PGR riders in the escort were given a humbling excercise in slow riding by the Sioux Falls Motor Cops. The first picture is our line of bikes leaving the funeral.

The second picture is of the line of squad cars, from all over the nation and Canada, parked on both sides of the country road to the cemetery, that we had to ride through at a snails pace.

My thanks to whatever newspaper I swiped these aerial photos from.

 

I will watch.....Kinda kewl, if my self tries that it would not be very pretty....Unless I am on a dirt bike that is small....lol

 

Pretty sharp riding - My skill gap is so large in comparison maybe I should burn my motorcycle licence! I found I can do tight turns better using throttle, feathering clutch and rear brake, not going dead slow and keeping feet on the bike; but no where close to the video. I think proper training / instruction and many many practice hours to even get enough confidence let alone precision

 

I've seen these guys few times it makes my head spin they use stock bikes but seen couple clutch failure during the exhibit.
