    It's the only position the bike was ever in between corners (front wheel aloft that is )

    One can only imagine the bike capabilities now if he hadn't been taken away all too soon.

    He was a fuggin' genius.If he was still around his bike would piss all over anything in MotoGP.And all done with volunteer labour.That would show the big companies and their hundred million dollar budgets.
    And it's not true he "borrowed" all his concepts for other designers and gave no credit for it.

    Who know's!!! I'd like to think that they'd still be chugging along building bikes that could compete with the big boys and that it'd still be an independent...

    Regardless genius of a man who dared to dream and follow through with it.

    I wish I had such nice dreams, reality is a lil' less comfortable.
