Mad skilz!
Try that on a R100RS! I think there's a video of that somewhere too.

On an airhead you could pivot around those pylons on a rocker cover.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

why would anybody want to do it, or watch it? I have decided that I won't do it, or watch it.

Those are basic riding skills. You do it to keep your riding skills sharp. I practice emergency braking and obstacle avoidance monthly. I want to live.

My riding of BMWs almost never included such riding. Maybe if I were interested in Trials riding, then it would be perfect for basic training. The Trials riders would do it on only one wheel and stop at any odd time and sit there without touching and then going again.

I never was even nearly that good. I watch it in admiration of the balance.
