I was out playing in a parking lot:

I don't think Vimeo is playing nicely with embedded video, as every one that I've seen is failing, but you should be able to get there by clicking on the link in the lower left.

I was at a Gymkhana event in Birmingham, Alabama.  They had three courses set up.  Out of ~30 bikes, only 5 weighed more than a couple hundred pounds.  I felt like I was piloting a battleship up a creek, and racing against canoes.
That being said, I had an absolute blast.

And no, I don't know why he put it in slow motion.  Perhaps for the same reason that another video was posted in high-speed.  Of course, I don't know why that was done, either.

If you are riding  and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.

You weren't even wearing knee pads!  Way to make the fat lady (darkside, even) proud!  ;-)
Did you win some new pegs?

1st gear all day.  I had her wound up and dragging the rear brake, just to get some stability.  

I should have won some new pegs.  I definitely need some.
