He recovered from that angle or was this taken just before he slid off the track?

You are no comparison to Mr Schwantz.

Having shot suspension on an old 250 with SFA lean angle doesnt make you pro.

nothing wrong with the suspension? it was a adjustable damping rear shock that worked fine...

SFA lean? look how far the lever is from the ground... the fairing is pressed on my leg too just admit im pro.

It wasn't your shock, it was your ride height. Like we'd already said, it should't have been scraping like that!

Schwantz is a legend no doubt! Looking at that black line, I'm assuming it is coming from his front tyre...I too wonder if he made this corner, or is it the start of one of his legendary last lap gardening excursions!

I first saw Kevin at the Trans Atlantic Challenge in the U.K ,.
He was so wild the brits didnt want to try passing him as they all thought he was going to fall off and take them with him. The only rider not intimidated was ex pat Kiwi (Canadian) Gary Goodfellow. He just went round the outside and gave him a slap on the knee lol.

Ahhh ....... those were the days .

My bandit used to scrape the rear pipe you just have to let the foot pegg fold up and hold your foot up so you dont lose it. lol

This one time, on the way to band camp, I leaned over, so far, that I touched my knee down, then my elbow, then my hip, then my back and head.

I did a shit job of parking my bike in the ditch too.

And all he's thinking in that second: "Fuck, I'm glad it isn't my bike!"

Not at all, it just goes to show he hasn't mastered the balance wheelie yet :rolleyes:

As for getting your hand down - easy on left-hand corners. Right-hand corners, not so much.

Gyroscopic stability from the rotating rear-wheel of course.

Him keeping the balance with his rear-wheel on the concrete barrier is much more impressive.

Very cool elbow down pics.

It's worth noting that both those pics are of a massively cambered corner with a flat infield. The angle of lean relative to where the tyre touches the track isn't actually *that* impressive compared to some of the MotoGP shots.

Actualy, interesting story about that pic. 2 milliseconds after it was take, skiddy ran out and pushed him over for being cooler than himself.
