Same. Can’t say I did that exact combo, but I could stand on my mountain bike pedals and clench the seat between my thighs to steer without hands. I did briefly try smoking but a rushed ride to class made me reek of ash, “quit” on the spot (never really started).
But yeah, motorcycles are big and heavy and fast. The weight ratio is way off. I can do some antics, but nowhere near my bicycle level. Part skill, part strength, part knowing that fucking up on a motorcycle at road speeds carries far more consequence than a bicycle.
I do love a slow race. I practice at every red light! I beleive it’s important for all aspects of riding by practicing how to wrangle the motorcycle to your will

On a slight decline this was so satisfying
