Really? Looks like you are standing still there.. L.O.L...

Best post your GPS data telemetry download transcript too, A-125.. or TW won't buy it..

& NO hand-waving! For shame..
What kind of play-dirty, show-boater 'biker' - do you think you are? L.O.L...

If you imagine you can corner faster than those video guys, A-125.. how is you think you corner slower than road cars?

That simply don't add up..

Get yourself a ride on a hard running Aprilia RS 250..
- it will make your 'flying burro' seem lame, & only fit for the knackers yard..

Maybe this one.... the sand create a beautiful motion effect, I love this picture even when the cornering is not my best one (that foot shouldn´t be sunk in the sand, but as you see my front wheel is sliding wich is what causes the beautiful sand wave effect)

btw, you´re constantly talking about how important experience is, and how useless Tim knowledge is (that´s what happens when you don´t understand his explanations)..... What´s YOUR experience? Can you post something to show us how expert you are?

Or it´s all hot air?

Easy, any car corner faster than any comparable bike, and any bike (even mx bikes as you can see) corner faster than those harleys. And it doesn´t matter how good those cops are, they can´t change the fact those bikes can´t lean more than 30 degrees, something I can do even on sand....

Basically Harleys are the slowest vehicles you can find for cornering, maybe they can beat trucks, but even with those I have some doubts

I have an M-B sports-coupe with uprated Bilstein suspension & sticky Bridgestone tyres.. yeah, it handles pretty good..
& I can still ride my bikes around the same familiar corners quicker - than I can push my car to drift point..
As shown on GPS.. No magic.. just skill.. facts only.. or are you the "troll" A-125.., or maybe.. just not good enough..

AS for "everyone...agree" - that is so bogus.. ( "any proof") L.O.L...
IMO/experience.. those who know better, have done better.. those who don't , can't.. too easy.. its a matter of talent..

I'll only agree to slow-speed corners :)

So at least we are 50% aligned.

I do wonder though if the slow-speed corners can be 'owned' by the right type of bike, with the right style of rider.

I wonder if a Supermoto would be the weapon of choice for the low-speed, slow corners ?

Hey E, did you check out the bike vids on the previous page?
If not, you might be surprised..

I could not get my car around those cones as quickly.. & I 'd need a bit of practice on a bike too..

I used to race small (125cc) race-bikes around Kart tracks, for fun, so I do know how quickly they can be made to go..
..around tight corners..
