    Forget pegs & knees, try elbows

    Could be the start of niche market for elbow sliders

    It's insane how far a good rider can lean a bike over. Very cool picture too, much respect to the photographer.

    The world will look up and shout "Save Us!", and I'll whisper "no"

    From the look of the photo the bike isn't actually that far over, he's just climbed off it as far as possible. Shame to ruin those unreplaceable titanium elbow plates on that Dainese suit.

    if you look at the leather the MotoGP guys are wearing they also have slider pads on the edge of their shoudlers

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Yeah, but isn't that in case they fall off? Some kinda cornering if you rub your shoulder on the road!!! I get all excited when I get my pegs to scrape!

    this fella has got a fair way till the Aprilia touches down which is the impressive part. The Moto GP riders & SBK guys get way further over like the shot of Akira Yana(whatsit?)http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/at...9&d=1131090593
