The product at that link (TL;DR: a second foot peg that goes above your foot) is nuts.

Anything that could possibly entangle a body part in a get-off has no place on a motorcycle. The fastest riders in the world do just fine without that nonsense. ijs....

Question: Okay, I get the whole tilt-the-head thing. Vale does it a lot. What I'd like to know is, how do you look all the way through the turn with your head tilted to the side? You have to look up instead of rotating at the neck, and you can't see as far that way (try it).

I imagine that the whole tilt-the-head thing is of greatest benefit at maximum lean, and as you get back up on the seat you do in fact level your head so you can turn it.
