The only bike I could do that on would have pedals... and stabilisers.

I've seen that before, but it's still just as amazing. What control!

This is even more impressive, a heavier bike, and NO putting the foot down in the corners like that first video.

If anyone has seen Jerry "Motorman"s Ride Like a Pro videos, it IS possible to do this with just about any bike (not like I can ride that well, maybe someday).

(They need to fix those squeeky brakes though.)

Talking

Those guys are VERY good. Having taught professionally for many years (2,000 + students) I've seen more than my fair share of skill contests.

A favorite thing we used to do as instructors was to take "school" motorcycles and do circles and figure 8's to achieve the most ridiculous lean angles. It makes a huge difference if you are riding someone elses bike (Police departments, Motorcycle Schools etc.) rather than your own. You still don't want to drop it but you will push the limits that much further.

All this being said the guys in the first video with the police bikes are top notch.
