Hi,
I don't know how many of you guys are familiar with the topic of motorcycle Gymkhana, but I would like to introduce the idea here anyway
It all started in Japan, where the riders compete on their tuned / modified motorcycles in order to get the best time riding through the artificially created course. The figures and obstacles are set using color-coded cones and the competitors have not only to pass the course as quick as possible, they also have not to make mistakes in memorizing the track. Some nice explanation videos are available here: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFEh59GVMnQ"]Welcome to the world of Moto Gymkhana Vol.1 - YouTube[/ame] .
Personally, I think, that practicing this kind of riding will make you prepared for the street situations and will teach you how to completely control your bike.
In 2011 Honda Poland decided to organize this kind of events in Poland and I was there - That is why I know about the stuff :P
Anyway, this kind of sport start to become popular all over the world (http://motogymkhana.org), even in the US (http://amgrass.com/). The local guys started in Alabama, without any Asian-Hardcore rules. Here they draw arrows on the pavement and make the courses not so complicated, so even the Sunday goldwing riders can handle it ;P Some videos from the 2012 are available on youtube: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjKIxiGei6k"]American Motorcycle Gymkhana Summer 2012 Birmingham Alabama USA - YouTube[/ame]
Let me know if you are interested I am going to prepare my Katana for this year's AMGRASS events - at least one of them, so maybe we can meet at the event?
