| Re: How low can you go? Not bad. Still, the best pic has to be the one of Nicky Hayden dragging his elbow on the RC. http://www.joerocket.com/images/wallpaper/1024_126.jpg |

| Re: How low can you go? Yeah, thats a good one....Dunlop used to hand those out at AMA events for free, now the are all on flea-bay....
FWIW, it was supposed to be Colin Edwards in that picture, but he got screwed out of it....

| Re: How low can you go? in the nicky pic,
Check out how compressed his front forks are, yet he is no longer trail braking! WTF? He either just got off the brakes or that is some serious cornering force (maybe slightly banked) or he is comfortable with the amount of feel he has as to whats going on at that front tire, because that patch is WAAY loaded up! |

| Re: How low can you go? ccwilli, you know you just opened the door, right?

| Is that corner banked at all? Still contemplating the fork compression situation. |
