    Yes, young grass hopper. You are not that far off from the legendary art of "Elbow down". Keep at it. Soon, you will surpass all others and rise to a new field where no one has been before.

    its funny how the photo makes it look so much lean. If you had a look at the front of the bike, you would see how banked the turn is, and also the 'real' lean.

    The bike is on the banking leaned, but the knee and ass is on the part of the track where it has flattened ou again.

    Still impressive photos!

    You're a cheeky sod sometimes RG . Yes the corner is positively cambered, but you can see how close the bike is to the ground, his knee is touching the fairings and the ground at the same time. Which means because of the camber, he must be nearly horizontal, that's how you corner fast on a positive camber corner. Props to Texmo for having the meanest ever shot on a ZXR250... I just wish I could get some of me mid corner, although it's not quite as spectacular.

    All good. Just as soon as you pay the overdue storage fee from last month, I'll release the bike out of my garage.

    Did I hear that correctly? Did you say you are having a party soon, in the last sentence?

    If that was for a bit longer, I could have got you a hottie flatmate from Melbourne. One of Kirstin's mates.

    Cheers for the offer bro! But moving again is a bitch! Will definetly come crash there during weekends, if cool if we go out.
