gimmick, but pretty neat idea, i always use the puff marshmellow man, when he is gone, job well done

that being said i am a lil surprised about how the buell leans compared to the rc, i have been on the actual side wall of the pp on the rc, but can only barely hit the absolute edge of the corsaIIIs on the buelll, i know alot has to do with the rim size difference, buts its still a surprise to this retard

Killing the ole michelin man

I still have room to go on the buell but the 2 times I had it out and wanted to rail the road conditions were less than optimal

I have leaned out CBRs, Buells, and SVs. The Buell and SV were totalled...

[dReWpY]

[smileyman]

08 1125R. I lowsided no biggie. 4700 in damage. I am having her rebuilt.

One, on a ZX6R, after riding with him one time I told him I refused to ride with him, but would help teach him... in the parking lot, so he could learn to turn/lean etc. He did agree and got better, but still dangerous on the street.

Another is a friend of a friend, put 1000 miles on a 250 ninja before picking up a FZ6. He dropped the FZ 3 blocks from the dealership on a sandy corner. Ever since then he's just been scared. Then again, he thinks I'm crazy the way I lean over the bike.

Both of those guys were probably between the 2 and 3.

Remember that the Corsa and the PP have different profiles as well
When I replaced the tires first thing I did was to go out on the highway and weave back and forth in my lane to "scuff" the tires a bit. On the Corsa's, I had a good 1/8" or so of chicken strip. On the PP it was right to the edge, on the rears at least.
Just another thing to keep in mind.

Great - I wonder how many bikes will get chucked due to consciously trying to 'go for a 5' (just like I've seen happen a few times when someone is making a goal of 'getting a knee down').

That takes some confidence & endurance! (assuming you're not talking about just nss - but still, riding home after a trackday... whew!)

To all the '5 is easy, anybody can do it' guys - When is the last time you've looked at the chicken-strips at a typical bike-night?

On my 190/50 I am below the tail of that elephant, and 190/50s suck, and I suck even more.
