  • These riders have skills

    Have you seen this? It's an old film clip of police riders showing off their motorbike riding and coordination skills in the 50s in Rome (Italy).

    WHOA!

    That totally blew my mind...I cant imagine how much practice that took.With that many bikes/riders the synchronization was spot on.Imagine if just one messed up..it would cause a domino effect...pretty amazing...

          rider skills

          There used to be a Motorcycle drill team (Police) here in my
          hometown that I thought was pretty good.

          This however is off the chart great.

          Thanks for sharing that video.

              I count right at 100 riders, I think I replayed it 5 times just to see it again.

                  I think the XS'ives could pull that off. Just a few hours of practice and a couple hundred spare mirrors.....
