Heh...


Looks familiar...

Outstanding. All about the riding position though, the elbow thing... I think a lot of people see it as showing more skill, but you don't often see the race leaders doing it Anyone see the picture of Albert Roco on the supermoto in Bike?



This, on the other hand, is pure skill

I wish... I'm reasonably quick on track, but I'm not brave. But I think it's someone from on here, if memory serves. At least, I've seen it posted here before.

Setting that up stationary would be pretty hard... It'd be peg and toe down, I imagine, though. SVs have quite a lot of ground clearance even with standard parts...

According to that link he fell off. Apparently there are more pics showing the rest of the fall.
