Lean angles

[spinto]

so why do you want to do this??? just for a photo op??....it isn't, necessarily , the fastest way around the corner.

[Mouse]

That's not lean angle.

THIS is lean angle...

[fastar1]

Wouldn't want to hazard a guess.

Absolutely!
Sometimes I want to go fast and sometimes i want to look good on pictures...

Try it on the turtles at Shanny. Long track turn 8 or 9 should be good candidates.

My boy got his left elbow down taking the left-hander after the hay bale chicane at SOAR round two. I asked him about it after and he said he thought the hay bales were to scrub speed, but he shot through them a lot faster than he thought he was going so he said he had two choices: run off or lean harder. He only did it the once trying to catch Sunny and he's bummed that no one got a picture

Holy crap! Good for Eden for being committed to the turn instead of running himself off. A lot of us could learn from him. I'll never forget last year when he passed me in the infield and realized that I could go faster. I really should start chasing him around ;D

Oh yeah... the elbow drag, AWESOME!!!

Anyone drag elbow at Calabogie turn 6? With the camber and raised turtle hump, I'm sure it can be done [relatively] easily there.

I dragged elbow, knee, hip, shoulder, ankle and helmet on turn 12 there...yes, it was a total 'drag' :P

Turn 12 is a tricky one. It makes you think your entering 6, but then all of a sudden, you run out of track. I found if you just look up the track just opens right up and there's so much room.

I went down on turn 20

Bingo ... that's the trick with 12, look hard to the right and there's a lot of track available.

About a month ago at Beaverun I dragged Hip, Ripped elbow, back and flipped the bike. It does not count though
Don't forget MOTO GP runs 130 front and 200 rear. They can get a bit more out of the tire.

Hmm.. in terms of lean angle and NOT crashing.
This guy took the cake yesterday at TMP
