Cool DVD with lots of maneuvering tips and tricks, and some awesome pointers. Would love to see what somebody could do with a Buell with the way these guys corner at low speeds. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to learn more about riding, and see how these guys handle low speeds on these BTs.

The guys who made this are motor patrol officers, who got their training from the state, and they teach courses to civilians.
It is nothing short of awesome how they handle these bikes. Could be a plus for anyone interested in stuff like battletrax, or competition riding at lower speeds, not to mention that the techniques they teach are good for just about any situation. Plus, it is kind of fun to watch. I am not affiliated with these guys in any way, but if you want to take a look, it is at

Yeah, I got it last week. It is great. Taught me a lot I didn't know. Gotta practice. Looks like the rear motor mount on the Harley is screwed up. Buell is due for service and I have parts on order for it. I am jonesing for a ride right now. But I got almost 1500 miles in since February, so no complaints there.

I love both bikes. Been considering moving to only one. Choices are the RKC, which I have now and is paid off, an XB12X, which I could use around town and tour on, or trading them both and getting a V Rod. In no hurry to do it. May wait until the 07s come out to see whats available. Haven't ridden the Uly yet either.

Rode the Street Rod and a regular V-Rod. Street rod power is nice. V-Rod is more comfy. Too tall for mid controls. Uly fits perfect. Decisions, decisions.

Saw this guy and his wife put on a demonstration in Tampa at the bikeshow a few weeks ago. Pretty cool.
