Good points and what I also noticed looking at the pic. Dragging pegs and showering sparks can make a cool pic and it's fun at night but cornering clearance is terrible on these bikes and knowing how to keep it from dragging can make you a lot faster. Safer also if you come into a corner too hot and know what to do.

Rider is inside the bike, head inside the bike, looking through the turn!

Here's the issue with the first pic: Rider is above the bike, outside the curve. The yellow line should be inside the red, not above it.





And your new pic; rider inside the bike, inside the curve, head dead level. Perfect.

Guys, I really, really need to stress a point here, I'm absolutely not pointing fingers or trying to make fun of anybody, like I'm Mr. MotoGP or sumpin'.

I'm just trying to help keep a fellow rider alive.

Ride safe, and get a book or DVD on riding skills.
