Thought it would be fun to post my favorite youtube videos of the MP3 in action.

The center stand scraping near the end of the second video makes me cringe though. Sounds so much worse from the side-lines than when I do it myself 8)

Wow! Where can I learn how to ride like that?!?! As crazy as it looks, I'd love to have that much control over my 500! Maneuvering skills like that can save your life I would think.

Yeah, that would be something I would be interested in too, something beyond the regular riding and safety course. Help you sharpen the skillset and gain more confidence in control / pushing the envelope. I know there's a few car and bike race type courses offered in various locales around the States, but one focused on Mp3s would be cool! (especially if the Mp3 on which you practice belongs to someone else...)

The next time some unformed self proclaimed motorcycle expert declares that the extra wheel does nothing for safety or stability, just send him/her to that link. Pretty much says it all.

The flouro-green-baby-grow that the MCN dude is wearing in the second vid is not a good look... Laughing emoticon
Some good vids here... I think my favourite of the lot posted so far is the short vid of the lunatic skidding the back end out - he's got it completely sideways at one point!
