Yesterday I went to one of those cop bike competitions and going back today. What those cops do with those bikes is awesome but I did see 3 Hondas 1 bmw and 2 hd's go down. Yesterday was practice today is comp. I did notice the hondas and other lighter bikes can be thrown around easier than the hds but those guys on the Harleys flop those things around pretty good. wish i could ride like that.

Its like anything else, if your not used to doing it....!!
Just go to a parking lot and practice rideing slow, and then start practicing turns tighter and tighter....
Go to a run and watch people show up and park....You can tell who can ride slow and who cant....Pretty fun to watch....
And yes those guys are good..why..because they practice and they where taught.
