ltljohn Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 That's cool, how much time did you spend practicing together? Link to comment
Paul Mihalka Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wow! I guess you trust your partner... Link to comment
motorman587 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 That's cool, how much time did you spend practicing together? I am sure you know this, but we practiced once month, with motor training. So tight turns were are normal for use. What we had to iron out is who liked the inside circle more than the outside. Talking to one another to either speed up or slow down........it was fun and got the heart pumping pretty good. Link to comment
upflying Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Similar techniques also used by this pair. Notice rear brake dragging and head/eye placement to the outside of the turn. Very difficult to look away from where you are turning. Seems like it would be easier for both officers to look into the turn with the outside officer using peripheral vision to judge distance gaps between bikes. Link to comment
MT Wallet Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I saw the stills on the other thread. Now you're just showing off LOL. Well done! I don't have enough trust road riding into a curve to feel comfortable riding next to someone else let alone do maneuvers like that. I just think about the dollar signs involved in replacing plastic.

MT Wallet Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 84 wing and a 2k RT, lots of tupperware. Wing's got crash bars and the RT doesn't. I guess we know which bike I'd try it with. Link to comment

Skywagon Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Tether? Not sure I could do that if they cleared the parking lot and spread the cones double distance apart. Nice. Link to comment
casticus Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 That is sick....you guys are seriously talented. Link to comment
Danny S Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I would have been afraid of running over the tether. Link to comment
JayW Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Watching this level of talent keeps the rest of us humble. Jay Link to comment
Fubar Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I don't want to be that close to someone stopped at a light. Heck, I won't let my wife park that close in the garage. Serious amounts of practice and great communication to get to that level. We're not worthy! Link to comment
