Speaking of little bikes, I do believe little Lucas has better form than his pop.

Unfortunately the only pics I have are shots that were taken right before I really leaned it over. For instance...........

Entering turn 1 at Willow Springs.

I think this is turn 5 at Willow Springs but I don't remember.

You know you're not really leaned over when the photographer has to angle the camera!

Phillip Island track day

This was from March the 8th this year.  I think I learned more in that one day than I learned in the previous year - I had already been to Phillip Island and the majority of my processing power had switched from "OMG I'm on a freakin' racetrack" to "man, I'm not relaxing my outside arm" and "I'm not really getting off the bike".   I used to get the bike leaned so far over on the road I'd scratch the headers, but using crap technique because I was riding faster in this picture - barely leaned over - than those old days.

That day alone was the impetus for me buying a track bike; I had begun to see all the things I've still been doing wrong in a clear light and now really want to do better.

There is a sick picture of tinyminds scraping handlebars :woohoo: somewhere here.
Myself, I have nothing to brag about.
The few times i thought I was leaned over, pictures revealed that in reality I was almost upright :unsure:

Some great shots on here.
Mine is not as low as most, but I am getting there. I would never would of thought riding would be this much fun and would meet some great people.

It'sa me, Mateo! LOL. BR, I found out when I painted the bike that at that lean angle you scrape the fairing behind the kickstand. It was shaved down to a wedge. LOL. Seb is definitely lower than I though, I bet he wore a whole through his saddlebag. LOL.

Nope Seb still had a few inches to go actually..

Also the road is off camber in that curve..

Where's Jeremy556's pic? I think that is one of the best pics of a VFR in action yet.
