Couldn't do that with a Beemer. The side stand would snap.
I first thought it was that ass hat that tears bikes up. Then I realized that that guy has incredible skill. I saw King Kenny Roberts dirt biking a V-Max once.

The 1978 Honda CBX1600 was a special edition 12-cylinder streetbike that was only available in Japan. It made 165bhp, had 48 valves and took 2 mechanics to adjust their clearances. Here it is being ridden by legendary German stunt rider Kaiser Soze at the world press launch in Kazakhstan

Thing must have had a turning radius like an aircraft carrier.

My high school friend’s dad had a stock one briefly in 72. We dogged it hard. Broke the chain doing a burn out. It went up Deep in the cases and broke it all up. It was gone after that. It smoked like a mosquito fogger on outboard marine oil. Always carried extra spark plugs. Great 2 up machine for hiway.

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.
The pharmacist at the counter asked the older boy, 'Son, how old are you?'
'Eight', the boy replied.
The man continued, 'Do you know what these are used for?'
The boy replied, 'Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four."
"Oh, really?" the pharmacist replied with a grin.
"Yes." the boy said. "We saw on TV that if you use these, you would be able to swim, play tennis and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do none of those."
