Don't think the Busa would like that.
Yup, I rode through a course set up in a similar way and after the third or so turn I was totally lost in a see of cones with no sense of direction.
Very nice, lots of practice 
And He Never Dragged a Knee....................
And his body position was all wrong! He wasn't slid off the seat by 1/2 a butt cheek with his head kissing the mirror. He could ride A LOT faster if he read all the advice at the .Org.

Yes, but why was he sitting straight up and counter leaning at times?
If you reach those lean angles sitting straight up on the backroad twisties or a road track you will fall down. Why did he not fall as well?
Anyone know?
At that slow speed, he would have fallen off. If he had been going faster, the centrifical force would hold him on the bike. At that slow speed he'd just fall off, nor could he possibly get from one side of the seat to the other that quickly - correct?
Congrats Keith, you win the prize! I'll send you a gift certificate for a java treat on your next trip to Starbucks!
At parking lot speeds there is very little centrifical force for his Bridgestone BT003's to deal with. As speed increases so does centrifical force which requires additional lateral grip. Depending on speed, at some point the lateral grip would be overwhelmed.
If you pay attention to the parking lot folks such Lee Parks Total Control and the Police Schools etc. they all sit straight up. Much easier to flick the bike back and forth with the center of gravity as high as possible. With little lateral force to deal with the straight up posture works quite well.
