Squidley Posted July 13, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 13, 2011 I have serious doubts that it could be done with an RSV like that. The H/D's have a great low center of gravity and handle VERY well at slower speeds....that was VERY impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoomerCPO Posted July 13, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 13, 2011 I have serious doubts that it could be done with an RSV like that. The H/D's have a great low center of gravity and handle VERY well at slower speeds....that was VERY impressive! Plus the H/D's have a much shorter wheelbase than our Ventures.....but I have to say that with enough practice the Venture can perform very well. Love that RLAP routine!! Boomer....who sez the pygmies hang on for dear life when I'm on the scoot doing that low-speed stuff..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulign Posted July 13, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 13, 2011 The 2 man team stuff where they are leashed together is really impressive too! Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Owl Posted July 13, 2011 Share #10 Posted July 13, 2011 Heck, I was practicing those kinds of maneuvers with the Virago last week end. Took out a few more cones than he did... but it was still a fun, learning experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed280 Posted July 13, 2011 Share #11 Posted July 13, 2011 Use a city motorcycle, non hydraulic adjustable clutch, and practice a lot without worrying about falling down..........yeah it can be done:322: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyRSTD Posted July 13, 2011 Share #14 Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) WOW, impressive. I Think I Can, I Think I Can, I Think I Can, I Think I Can, I Think I Can, I Think I Can. Well, maybe. Edited July 13, 2011 by FuzzyRSTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relic Posted July 13, 2011 Share #15 Posted July 13, 2011 I would owe a fortune at $5 a drop for picking it up at every turn!!!!!!!! I'm not sure I could do that on a mini bike. Maybe in my next lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnightventure Posted July 13, 2011 Share #16 Posted July 13, 2011 At the end of the Ride like a Pro video they do their routines on other bikes including a Venture. I don't think they look near as smooth as on the Harleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galapagos Posted July 13, 2011 Share #17 Posted July 13, 2011 I would try that on somebody elses bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted July 14, 2011 Share #18 Posted July 14, 2011 I'm not sure I could do that on a mini bike.. On a mini bike I might make it through but my time might be longer than his. That is pretty impressive Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted July 14, 2011 Share #19 Posted July 14, 2011 That course looked somewhat similar to the course we have when I did riders training, well not as many cones, and not as many figure 8's but we had to do them none the less. We practiced a lot and then practiced some more, and then when we were tired of practicing, we were allowed to ride the course again, just so that we would get it right. We weren't using Ventures but 200 and 250cc Honda's and Suzuki's. Well in the end we could go home to practice some more, and I tell you 'practice makes perfect'!!!!!! I don't remember how many nights I went out on the parking lot, set up a course and did my practicing, until I got it all right,,, but eventually I did wake up, and had to get back to reality.

Michael_Bishop Posted July 14, 2011 Share #20 Posted July 14, 2011 I order ride like a pro 5 a month ago and been practicing after watching it.

CrazyHorse Posted July 14, 2011 Share #21 Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/user/vystrcil?v=pJxOsYh12yY&feature=pyv&ad=9710386916&kw=motorcycle Like to see this done with a RSV. Is it even possible? With the ventures longer wheel base you probably could not do that particular course. Many of the circles are set up for a Harley wheel base slighty bigger max turn You would need an expanded course. This stuff is fun and great but I find it doesnt translate to higher speed twisty type stuff. But it does save you the embarassment of making a u turn shuffling your feet on the ground doing a three pt turn that Ive seen quite a few " I ve been riding 40 years." types do. But I do think its a good low speed skill to know. Edited July 14, 2011 by CrazyHorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chabicheka Posted July 14, 2011 Share #22 Posted July 14, 2011 now if i came across an obstacle like that cones set up, i would put my bike on its side stand, and just walk it. and if i was in a hurry, i would run....simple. no damage or harm done.

Yama Mama Posted July 14, 2011 Share #23 Posted July 14, 2011 Thanks Gary, I really enjoyed seeing that video. It really was amazing how he handled that bike. I would need a GPS to keep track of where I was going. Even though I saw how well the HD handled in that demonstration, I would still stick with our RSV for those long highway rides. Maybe next year for MD in Oberlin, everybody should bring an orange cone and we will let Eileen demonstrate her skills with her Zero turn mower.
