I'm not sure I should post this at this time of year when everyone is still in the spring fever mode. I'd like to add that this is not to be imitated on the street and this rider is a professional.

I guess Ben Spies' style is rubbing off on the less fortunate.

scary thing is he's most likely going faster there then most of us would ride in a straight line. ill pass on the imitation too.

Especially the part where he's looking down at the road during the turn. Damn Rossi.....:rolleyes:

Rossi has a completely different style of cornering. When asked about where he looks he stated he looks down through a corner and not down the track. I can't argue with a guy who is the best in history. I can't ride like him either, but then no one else can either.

Thats just silly, he has no elbow slider, but he has knee and shoulder sliders. Total gear fail.

With the way these 800cc machines are going I would not be surprised if someone does end up getting a shoulder down :eek:

Depends on the tires and the bank of the pavement, you can not exceed the lean angle of the tire!

Did he forget his bike doesn't have a kickstand again ? :o

All the greats are anomolous in the way they perform their tasks....i guess that's why they're great. I can't shoot a basketball with my tongue hanging out like Michael Jordan. Well...I can, but I just end up slobering all over myself. :D

I'm pretty sure if I tried looking into a corner I'd end up face planting myself into it.

The Doctor is in!:thumbup:

Maybe he carved his initials in the track and wanted to see what it looked like at speed.

Pics coming soon of me....with that bike.....

I do think that he is a wee bit lower than the doctor.

That Duc being a V4 might be a bit narrower than the Yam I4, for what its worth.

Stoner is a bit smaller also.

So has Capirossi and Biaggi

The doctor is in....and he left me alone with his bike...LOL

wow.

'nuff said

nb

You should have put a Kawi sticker on in!

The Doctor, performing field surgery!

I have to admit....I wanted to jump on that thing and have some fun....maybe next time.
If I get to take it for a spin, Ill definitely get pics.

Pics dont do it justice...that bike is awesome.

Rossi scribbled his signature across the tank, and on the windshield there are stickers that say "The Doctor" in a really colorful cartoony font. The exhausts are pure artwork...I dont know who did them.

Kawasaki sticker....naw....ninjette.org sticker...now that would have been good.

Gotta love Rossi!

While impressive, Colin Edwards has been dragging elbows and full shin at least since 2008 :p Damn, I wish I had thought to try that. Yep, shoulda gone for some track time much sooner

He looks like a dag (Snatch) taking a pee.

Saw one of those R1LE at the dealer yesterday. Pretty cool, though I am not a graphics person. Also had a CBR1000RR repsol (not sure on those orange wheels), and an 848 Hayden replica.

I was at the dealer yesterday, they had a Repsol also. I thought the orange rims were pretty nice. The whole bike looked sick, no vinyl stickers, all graphics glossy finished, oh la la....

I told my dealer they should have put all 3 of those replicas side by side, like a starting grid kind of layout.

Dragging elbows is getting boring:

DAMN!!! There is some AIR between those tires and the ground! :)

Air time Isle of Man

Air time Isle of Man

Recorded the I of M practices tonight on Discovery HD. Its a repeat but better than a new episode of Wizards of Waverly Place.

At least you don’t have far to fall when the tyres let go

Steve

Craig - Joe did a little photoshop work on Cory's airtime pics. There were cones in the frame that are no longer visible, and at least one of those pics has him a little higher in the air than his trajectory would have taken him. But Cory's still superhuman for hitting 5 that way. :eek:
