Phil, I know exactly how you feel.
About 15 years ago I borrowed a friends bike to make a short 2 block run to the store. Had to pushthe bikeback with a broken foot after wrecking it. I'll tell you that my pride hurt a lot less than my foot did though

It just occurred to me.... Allen, you should send that picture in to D&D so they can show it if customers ever ask about a FatCat dragging on a Bagger. I think that shot should address any concern(s) about that!

PhilM and/or Allen: Do you guys have any video from the police rodeo held in August?
I haven't checked the video section on the forum lately, but have saved at least a couple of the clips from police rodeos, including one awesome one with two riders doing floorboard dragging figure 8's incredibly close together.

I saw Justin staged for a run and at least one still shot of him on the range. It'll really ashame that there are only stills of the Baton Rogue Guys. Year after year, those guys are the BEST I've ever seen.
Hey Justin, ya out there?

Thanks Clay!
While I've been riding for a long time 30+ years, anyone can do it. It just takes practice. Allen has picked this stuff up like no one I've seen before. He can out ride most (including me), even on a really bad day. The key is, that for most of us it's not competition. It's just making myself a little better than I was before.
Get the Ride Like a Pro video, watch it until you understand it and then go pratcice, practice, practice. The skills you get doing this stuff totally transcends to daily street riding and it just might save a life some day.

RE: When's the last time ya....
phils right. anybody can do this. all it takes is some practice and someone like phil to be out there helping you learn proper technique. and the "ride like a pro video" is VERY informative on proper technique. i would recommend it to anyone who wants to do this kinda stuff. its too bad they dont make a "ride like phil" video[8D]

I noticed in the Cop bike competetion that there were some kawasaki (sp). Do the harleys win those things? How do they stack up against the jap bikesin the slow speed manuvers?Those guys did a great job.
