and this is
[QUOTE=NC Scott;18383680]That's actually MotoGP star Nicky Hayden "backing it in". I heard he was in town getting a few runs on the Dragon before his race in Qatar this weekend.

He's kicking his foot out to wave to Killboy while maintaining the appropriate body position to roll on the throttle and drift effortlessly through the curve. He tends to use a hybrid supermoto/roadrace style on his Harley. I have heard him caution against hanging off on the street.

Note the late apex line he is using, precisely locating his rear contact patch on HIS yellow line without crossing the double yellow.


The quote on his blog says "It is more fun to ride a slow bike fast." He must really be loving riding that Ducati.

Those guys make this stuff looks so easy.

Good thing he kept his hand off the front brake lever. You know what happens if you use that front brake.

He is just practicing good riding skills.

Is that a car tire on the rear? Is she wearing elevator boots? I'm glad she's covering that rear brake and gladder that she's not on the front brake as well as properly signalling a leftie.

Morbid curiosity compels me to wonder about the aftermath of this little soire'e...

That 1800cc of American made muscle has a little more lean left in it as the floor boards do fold up....... how much more leaning the car tire is capable is another question
