Damn, just damn. I mean that's got to be like a 55 degree lean angle he's got going on there.

He looks unbelievably relaxed to me.

I've never been on a track though.

That lean is damn near crazy!!

That's not possible  Police I can prove it  Angry

No, seriously, I've seen racers do that on a regular basis. Impressive waytogo
AFAIK - that's only possible because the tires bend/twist a little under pressure.

Form OK?
Maybe a knee down on those curbs spell t-t-t-t-r-r-r-ouble ?  More elbow/head/ass instead?

Carlos Checha? I think he knows something about cornering.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

it's really just an optical illusion caused by the camera at an odd angle and raised curbing. look at how far his footpeg is from the track.

On-camber corners with raised curbing always give those insane photos.  That's the ideal scenario for a good moto shot.

that is the tires for GP (and maybe WSBK as well) are made with such distinct V shaped profiles that they are optimized for traction contact patch while leaned over moreso than straight up and down...
