That falling feeling (bike leaning question)

I would of thought rider height would play some part in getting the knee down. Look at riders like Pedrosa and Elias hanging off their bikes like chimpanzees . I would say a real short **** would need to hang off the bike more to get the knee down...that or have a steeper lean angle. Im quite tall (6-foot 2') though so cant really comment from a smaller riders perspective.

Like the Ape said though...all the other factors are what really counts.

Point is that your link goes to page 2 of 2. The information that you are talking about is on page 1 of 2 close to the bottom of the page.

5000 miles for a set of tyres sound a lot to me . Maybe they aren't squared off but more so , worn out !

?? worn out ?? tires are worn out when the tread is gone, i'll get at least another 1000 out of them there was just under 3000 miles on the clock when i got it and i could still see colour bands.. tires are sweet as.. .

i had 6500 on my OE tyres and they were still in good cond.
