My definite impression was it required a >great deal of skill which the
fellow >possesed.  It looked like the kind of scary you see watching GP
bike races - those guys can handle it, but _I_ would be intimidated,

take the new bikes on the street.  It looked as though the bike becomes
more sensitive to body english as it cycles through small skids.>>
	Hmm, can you explain the "body english?" What is that? Thanks.
