He's good!

Reminds me of the journey from Sid Squid's house to Soho on a Friday night :lol: .

That VFR400 (?) is a good bike and ideal for that sort of thing just like an SV. Try that on a Gixxer or a Blade :wink: .

How good is that?! :shock: Shows the sense in the real world of bikes with higher bars. You would have no chance of doing any of that on a sportsbike. :lol:

Actually, I was behind a guy on a naked SV the other night who couldn't get through a gap because his bars were to wide, so I just slipped through on my 'Blade :wink: To be fair, I don't think they were the original bars.

Anyways, the geaser in the video is pretty good... Probably a courier for a living :lol:

You're right in that wider bars mean gaps are harder to negociate, but you just have to develop the sideways shuffle :riding: . It's surprising how adept you become at doing this (and also at how many cars fold their mirrors in when they realsie that you're going though come hell or high water :lol: ).

sideways suffle

I've never mastered a regular soufflé, let alone a sideways one. :wink:

Seriously impressive handling skills though.
