Cheers

Hi

You'll love Donington. If you only remember one thing, don't roll off going down the Craner Curves. If you do you load up the front and that's when it tucks underneath and you fall. You can keep a neutral throttle just don't chop it as you tip left. Also, going back up the hill you can keep it pinned all the way up. I used standard 15front 45rear and it was fine for gearing. Carry your corner speed for the straights and you will surprise many other riders on larger capacity bikes.

Hope that helps.

Talan

I'll start by saying the picture's brilliant, the angle is intense and the gear looks very cool

I'll now say that, for most, this level of lean on the same stretch of track is probably unnecessary - not wrong in any way - just not necessary, as the same thing requiring you to pull this lean angle is the same thing that means others won't need to do this.

Your legs obviously need to be strapped in and your bar inputs as stated are the only means of steering with you sat upright. So you're demonstrating a lot of skill maintaining the lean, whereas I could shift my weight to get the same turn in and less chance of losing grip at the front.

So on the same track I don't think I would need to go that low.

However, it still looks impressive no matter which way you look at it!

Lean angle of the bike isn't that far over to be fair, it's just that the rider is abseiling off the side of it a hell of a lot.
Talans actual bike looks to be leant over further IMHO.

Hugely inspirational mate, hat off to you!

And I think he meant post one of yourself if you have one (which I don't as I'm not good enough).
