I can't get the video to play.
That said, it's no insult to H-D to say that it's the rider. Some of those guys are impressive.

Every time I see one of those I turn a little green with envy. If only I was able to make the CBR do that. But I ain't got the skills.

Yup, lock handlebar, lean until you hear scraping (not far) then ride in a circle.

I still remember being at the NY State Fair some years ago. I had a nice conversation with a state trooper while he rode a full-lock circle at well under 1 MPH on his full-dresser police Harley. He was riding in a parade with children milling around him.

I'm really curious to see the Victory's being used for these competitions. Yes I'm biased (owning and riding daily my Vision), however my vision is REALLY easy to ride, and I know the Cross Country's are too. I'd like to see how they handle with a really good rider behind the reins.

Awesome!
LOVE the first one! (30 second clip). Beemer comes in and shows him how it's done, Victory Rider comes in, makes a RIGHT hand u-turn instead of a LEFT-hand one, aaaaannnndddd . . . . knocks over all sorts of cones! LOL!
