No hands on bars- turns through light poles

In order to show skeptics that a Motorcycle can be precisely turned without touching the bars, I made this video. With concrete bases to crash into, I wouldn't have successfully done it, unless I was sure that it could be done with some precision. On the street it should not be done.

It is of no practical use, and is only posted to show doubters that it can be done.

Crash, it's 17 parking stalls from pole to pole. I was going 35mph. It is pretty speed sensitive.

The faster you go, the more stable it is, but more effort it takes to turn. Slower than 30mph is very difficult, as a tiny bit of body movement has big impacts on tuning.

So faster is easier to control, but makes bigger turns. Slower gets tighter turns, but takes a lot more finesse. I think 25mph is too difficult to try, the self-righting forces aren't strong enough at that speed.

excellent man this shuts a lot of dickheads up for good 100% video

I did the math based on the distances. It was the equivalent of taking a curve with an advisory speed of 35 mph at 35. (He was at 35 mph.)

Cool. Thanks for the reply!

I'm curious. It seems your turns are getting wider as you go. You're doing, what, a 60+ foot weave? It's pretty cool but I'm curious to how precise you can be--can you do a 20ft weave? Can you do a U-turn?
