... damn, now I need one of those TOO!

I can't believe that worked! Wonder how many tries it took... judging by the exuberance, more than one!

Think I'll watch that again...

Not bad for a fake - IMHO.

To my way of thinking this is not possible but I would like to know how it was done. Possibly tweaking the video post production or was there some more mechanical way of setting the table with a clear top sheet under the items that stayed in place while the cloth was slid out from underneath.

As far as I can tell - there was insufficient speed at the point where the tension was applied to the cloth in order for it to accomplish a simple setting let alone such a long multiple table setting.

Nice to watch all the same.

... argh, you bursted my balloon... :(

FWIW, a stock S1000RR (mirrors removed) just beat the AMA Superbike lap record at (track name I forget) recently, according to the BMWMOA website. Not enough speed you say?!?

When I saw this trick it looked like a fake to me also. 'Oldest Trick In The World". A trick trick.
Cool bike though.

Wow... Do you have to do this before they'll sell you a S1000RR? Sheesh!
