Organ transplant delivery couriers should not drift in corners. Cooler contents will "slosh".

Sorry to go all "texty" again, but what's really impressive is that it's the throttle hand. If I tried that on my Vee, I think it would stand up and take me into the weeds.

I'm going to try it and see what effect engine braking has on my line.

Believe that is the passenger's hand, not the rider's hand.

Probably a brake slide more than a power drift. Right toe is tucked in tight like on the rear brake.

Which means someone's new heart might be splattered all over when he high-sides

but he's too upright to be deep in a slide, and he's too centered for it to be transitioning to a high-side, so I dunno... That's a lot of lever to catapult you if you DO go over...

I'm also betting that it's a six pack of his favorite adult beverage.

I dont care if these are reposts, I like them, and they are actually from the gap.

Fail! What is the point of hanging your butt off the bike if you're going to crawl your torso back to the center of the bike? If you want to hang off, hang off!

Think of her arm length, and the limitations that entails, on the size of the bike she is on with the reach to the clip-ons she must make.

That may be about as much as she can do.
