Pictures of limits of traction
I think the coolest motorcycle pictures are those that show either awesome control or show the rider pushing their traction to the very limit (which requires excellent control)
So I was wondering if you guys had cool pictures that showed either great control or limits of traction. I guess a good example is the pic of Rueben Xaus doing the thumbs up while powersliding a Ducati. Although pics of racing can be more fun. http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/...s.jpg_w500.jpg or http://www.nancarrow-webdesk.com/war...g.186401_t.jpg or http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...G1GGLQ_ENUS256 I'm going to make a desktop compilation of cool shots. Thanks for any pics! |

Pretty much any picture of either KRJR or Freddie Spencer you will see traction at the very edge of it's limits.
