It's all about the confidence of the rider to take his or her scooter to the limit. With four hrs training in a parking lot most riders should be able to do this. When you are at a major motorcycle event and trying to find a place to park your bike you will be glad you "practiced" slow speed manuvers. Look like a pro = ride like a pro.
I wish i could ride an electra, but since i'm only 5 foot 2, i try to maximize my skills using my '10 sportster w/ supertuner, SE air filter and V&H sideshots.. Thanks for watching? Thank YU
The Prez was on his game this day but a power blower roaring in the background prevented me from using the original sound track. Just imagine a consistant 1200-1300 rpm coming from a big 'ol Harley with Vance and Hines... Thanks for watching
Nice and smooth. Would have liked to have heard the engine instead of music. Power and clutch ac tion is what plays against the "dip". Notice how he turns his head into the turn before the turn.
this guy is smooth, there is a video on u tube of a cop doing this on an electra glide but it looks a little tighter than 20 ft. its a short video,, not the greatest quality though... its under flht1300 videos.
@RoadKen53 The FLH can do it all and still bring home the groceries with class. Some prefer a less decked out scooter because they are lighter and easier to ride in town, but once you have learned how to control your bike at slow speeds the weight of the motorcycle just does not matter.
On a good day I've seen the Prez do this with his wife on the back while he's sitting side saddle. Being able to control a heavy scooter at slow speeds like the Prez is doing takes practice, Slow riding can and should be done by every experienced rider at some time in their riding career.
The bikes we ride weigh in around 900lbs. plus the riders weight, so we're over a half ton. Once we figured out how to control a monster like this at slow speed the fear fell away and the fun began.
@AmanW10 you live half way around the world, your Engish is Great, we have people from south of our border that come here and refuse to even try to speak Engish. Big thumbs up to you!!!!!!
That is The Dead End Polka by Thornton Creek on the album Six Times Stronger. I couldn't have found a better tune to fit the Prez in the Intersection. Now when we practice the cones my head bobs up and down when I watch.
Fantastic ride. Well impressed.
