Wow! To me, that picture of your friend is right up there with the one used by Ducati( I swear it was them but it may have been a tire manufacturer) for advertising the Panigale where Rossi has the back end stepped way out drifting into a corner. Just freaking phenomenal.

The other thing that has always blown my mind is the level of trust riders such as yourself put in the tires? Maybe it's because my dumbass low sided on new tires but I just have a hard time trusting my tires to hold leaning way over. It's purely mental for me as my tires have not given me any concern, and I'm sure it's a good thing that keeps me out of trouble on the streets. However, if or when I finally track my Ninja, I know that's something I'll have to work to overcome. I don't like crashing, lol.
