A still photo of Lawson (probably in mid drift at Laguna) has nothing to do with the body position that Joe Rocket Squid manages to get himself into at Deals Gap, Malibu (insert your local road here) etc.

Hanging off and knee down are the responses that racers in the past used to deal with finding the limits of tire adhesion and lean angles on the track. Joe Dipshit will never come close to the limits of a modern sport bike and is just posing.

Truly, you should have known...

I think I remember them saying that the cops were yelling at them to to get away from the car because of the fire after they pulled him out. It all worked out for the best, but you'd think they could have pulled him further away with them.

So you didn't leave your lane but you passed other bikes? So, either you mean the were coming toward you on the opposite side of the road (in THEIR lane) or you are the fuck turd that passes other bikes in THEIR lane.

Oh n00b!!! Watch the video. When you are done... Bring us back some beer and a stack of bacon sammiches.

Yes, he passed in the same lane and NO, there was nothing wrong with it.

Definitely an HD stereotype that applies.

Here's a recent pic from Killboy, taken with a GoPro HD hung from a kite.

I'm adding it here since there's no Killboy Win thread...

I agree. They use a paint that is almost like plastic film around here. Slick when it's dry and like a snotty doorknob when wet.

I meant to do that when I was at the Outer Banks, NC last summer but forgot to bring it down with me.
