View Full Version : How low can you go? A pissing contest

I could've posted this in the general forum somewhere but some smartfuck would just have a go, meh, whatever!

So you bucket peeps show us your best angle of lean. Angle of the motorcycle to the pavement is the only criteria. I don't care if you've got your knee down, elbow down, knee down one handed (Fuck you Fi5hy!:bleh:) or smoke is coming off your tyres or your leathers. Degrees of dangle is where it's at!

Rules:F4 and F5 bikes only and it has to be you or your offspring (if so they get the credit) Please credit the photographer if possible.

As with any pissing contest, someone has to drop their trou first...

Edit: I'll also submit my avatar and sig pic, if that makes three shakes, well you know.:whistle:

You know I can't get my knee down unless I've crashed so I won't be entering the pissing contest, but come on folks where's your pics!!:wari:

That shot does not show the lean you where achieving that day, around the next left you were almost horizontal!

I had Lady P down on her pegs, boots and knee scrapers at Roys Hill.
Admittedly, in this shot I wasn't hanging off that much, that lap, probably had a gutsful of the heat !!

I get pretty leaned over on the fiddy....so much so that it makes Sully's eyes water at the notion that I'm probably about to crash :lol:

You have quite a thing about competition rules don't you? You've broken the only two rules there were.

Post up your profile pic at least that only breaks one.

I'm going to break one now too...

Though I endorse that pic as it has to be the result of one of the most spectacular crashes I have ever witnessed!

BTW: That other 27(1) in pic three looks cool!

Meh! No one else seemed to. I'd have loved to have caught that picture just as my front wheel began to wash out, -that would have won the comp!

I think you'd be right there, you were flying! Then you were flying, though a beautiful explosion of snow!

I'd have to say the original Shelracing (whichever one of the multiple people that seems to be) pic seems to have the most angle for a compliant shot so far.

Yep, and I have the boot to prove it. Dont think that Sully will let me join in the pissing contest with that one though, even if he was right behind me when it happened! :pinch:

You get the points for the most rotations, it's like you hit the ground and your body instantly sped up to the same RPM your wheels had just been doing.

Either way it looked pretty.

Your crash was funny too!

yeah looked that way from angle, looking straight down it looked thicker. less than earlier on in the day. All quite novel to a welly lad, this snow stuff.

That's quite impresive really, it's hard to beat a 90 degree lean.

My son managed to put some pretty serious scratch marks in the top of my tank last weekend, does that count? You can't lean anymore than upside down.........

I'll see if I can find any photos

The photo of me on my FXR is from the early days of when I just learned how to make this bike think go around a race track at a semi moderate pace.

The one of me on the Silver KR150 is at ruapuna, and the green bike is my RS125 through the sweeper at Manfeild.
