Display of Handling Has Hooligans Fearful
by Jason Giacchino

It's a common misconception among sport bike riders that the best way to shake a motorcycle cop atop a hog is to lead them into the twisties and outmaneuver "the man".
However, this viral video has riders of all disciplines reconsidering the logic.

After a few dozen viewings we feel we're qualified to present a few questions for thought.  Among these: where in the world did they get so many cones? How did this guy only get second place? And most importantly, what would happen if Ray, the cop from the Village People, tried to do the same thing?

All kidding aside, it's a pretty impressive display of control considering the Harley Road King in question is likely close to 900 pounds.  One thing's for certain, traffic offenders in that town better watch their mirrors!

Is this the best display of cone maneuvering you've ever seen? Voice your opinion here!

Nick Roy (Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:02:52 -0800): It's a common misconception among sport bike riders that the best way to shake a motorcycle cop atop a hog is to lead them into the twisties and outmaneuver "the man". This may seem true but hear the bike scraping the ground in the turns. If a rider were to do this at high speeds in a turn and needed to turn more he would be uncapable of doing so and running the risk of driving wide possible into oncoming traffic. This officer does have amazing skills though. props.

Michael Perry (Wed, 15 Feb 2012 08:26:11 -0800): I've been to several of these competitions and they are indeed impressive. They are riding very close to the edge of the RK's capabilities, however, and there are always very good riders who crash at these meets. Fortunately, I've never seen an injury
