    Kenny, I expect the same lean angle from you through turn 4 next round.

    the only way michelin could get that much grip is if the bike is staionary

    Banked corner, huge curb and Spies-esque hang off makes the angle look extreme.
    I've seen Kenny drag his slider through T3 - many times successfully...

    Yeah, but how many times unsuccessfully?

    Buddy of mine pushed the front end dragged his frame slider on his R1 last week at Miller in the Blackrock Hairpin.... Not on the curbing either.

    He didnt crash, frame slider and his knee kinda bounced him back up onto the tire, regained grip and rode out of it.Happened right infront of me and I have it on Video.

    We were pretty shocked to see the rash on the slider when we got back to the pits....

    The first time I went to Willow Springs(big track) with my then new-to-me GSXR1100(ok, 1216) , I kept getting these really unsettling rear end slides going through the long uphill turn 3(which is about 160km/h). After 2 sessions of scaring the crap out of myself I realized that I was dragging the engine cases and unloading the rear tire through there.
    Turned out that dropping the forks through the triples about 2 inches because it " looked cool like the factory bikes " was not the hot handling/ground clearance setup...
