here is the thread from the sports beemer site

wonder who it was and if he is one of us

Loc: Tampa area    
I saw what I thought was a remarkable demonstration the other day. I guy on a big Valkyrie pulled into the bike store, and turned 180 degrees between a post and a curb about 6' apart. In the process, his front wheel cruised neatly within an inch of the curb and it was obvious he know just what he was doing. He wound up at right angles facing away from the curb and casually strolled into the store.

Now I do a lot of parking lot practice, and I'm reasonably adequate at slow riding, but I know my limitations and I wouldn't dream of slow riding that close to an edge trap. Did I just see a superman in action, or are there a lot of others who could pull off that maneuver?
