Extreme skill. I don't do skill. I don't do fast. I do safe. I don't do pain if I can avoid it. And I CAN avoid.

The safer motorcyclist uses superior judgment to avoid situations where superior skill may be required.

When in Japan do not try to outrun or out maneuver the motorcycle cops. Dang, that really looked like a lot of fun. But, I think I will try to abide by the wise words of caution of Mr. Paladin.

Excellent Skills,
Looks like a fun competition.

After the first video posted,
I also watched the second one.
The 6 ladies, doing a Synchronized close ride.
I think that took more work/practice.

Just guessing, the tires they use, are Not 5 year old rubber. Grin

Set up a local, Competition. Might be worth while.

20 bucks entry, Chalk lines, cones at critical places.
(Everyone has, ‘cad-cams’, set a couple of those up for disputes)
% of money collected, for 1,2,3,4th, & house.
One class, any bike, fastest time, X time added for touching the line, X time added for knocking a cone.

1st time, 10 -20 people, each time, More and More people.
Could Really grow, with several, ‘classes’.

If I was Only 20 years Younger. Sad

MnSpring:

The biggest problem with this goal is the venue and liability concerns. About 25 years ago I autocrossed cars in parking lots. We had 2 groups (local SCCA and Porsche Club) that would put the events on, and they were either in the local vocational school parking lot, the Ford Transmission Plant parking lot in Sharonville, or a local shopping mall (Stores were closed on Sundays), and a couple of airport runways/taxi areas. All was well with the world and about once a month you could do autocross your car in the Cincinnati area....and almost every weekend if you wanted to drive to Columbus, Dayton and Louisville.

Times changed...shopping malls were open on Sundays, neighbors complained about the noise, new managers and their attorneys were concerned about liability issues even thought the SCCA and Porsche Club had event insurance. Every year we lost places that would allow us to have the events. I eventually lost interest in standing in hot parking lots all day so I could drive a few runs that generally lasted less than a minute each.

When cars lost control, all that happened was you sent some orange cones flying and skidded to a stop......on a motorcycle the rider could get hurt pretty easily if he screwed up and crashed. Maybe a drag strip or race track could figure out a way to included it in their competition events safely - but I can't imagine how a local group of folks could make it happen. (But then.....I am not a visionary).

Interesting,
Will talk with the County Fair Board, see what they do, as far as a ‘liability’ statement, when they have their, ‘Crash/Smash’, (Demo Derbies).
(Gee they have 6 of them, in 4 days. Can’t think of a more dangerous event, than, PURPOSELY, Smashing a Car/Truck/Combine, into another one, as a ‘liability’)

I know, at some ‘Firearms’ , shooting events, I must sign a, ‘waver’, as to: I am responsible for any, xxx.

Maybe that is just Minn law.
I know, if I allow someone to hunt, and they step in a Coyote hole, and break their leg, and while falling, shoot their hunting partner, I am held, Harmless, because I did NOT, ‘make’, that hole.

Dave, you have my e-mail, if you choose, ‘IF’, you have, information on what your did, send it.

Classes, (if the event grows), would DEFINITELY, include, a class, for:
Stock LS650/S40, and Modified, LS650/S40.

Do have several, ’Good TAR’, lots that would work on the weekends.
