Looks like the local force was setting up a maze like that this afternoon when I drove by. I would have loved to stop to watch.

Very relative. Impressive, but handling that hog so tightly was more impressive me thinks.

GRM is the only place you can talk about how impressive it is to handle your hog in such a tight manner and be P.C.

Do it in the Miata.

In reply to N Sperlo:

There is a fine line between abusing the hog and skillfully using it for something it was probably never intended to do. I think finesse is universally appreciated.

I'm not sure they would have appreciated me doing it in the 3/4 ton pickup with a dump trailer on the back, which is what I was driving

That's a different kind of hog all together.

That first loop was impressive since he had to set up for the exit by making an oval turn instead of a plain circle.

A cop was trying that at the Xmas parade last year and he caught an edge and dumped it in front of a lot of people. And then he couldn't pick it up.

Impressive, especially considering what he's riding weighs more than most 2-seater sports cars...

I imagine that bike to be considered the box truck of the motorcycle world, therefore I find it impressive.

Its impressive alone that he could even have memorized that course...let alone complete it with precision. Bravo

Wow, you can actually hear him scraping the pegs on some those corners.

Related video, Japanese cops do the same thing, but when it comes to bike selection they don't berkeley around (which makes it easier I'm sure):

It looks like he drifts the bike slightly on one corner just after the 1 minute mark.
