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

Don't ride safe. It's boring.

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.

RE: Impressive, most impressive
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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9MVY8swO5M

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.
