That's a great pic of Casey WayneG ----- and your previous shots prompted me to hunt out a couple from waaay back --

Paul Smart - one of the best exponents of hanging off the bike to try to keep as much tyre contact as possible!

Not solo - but quite soulful - Ivy and Read at IOM TT! (I think!)
Check out the skinny tyres!

I'm sorry for posting the picture of Rossi and the up skirt, I thought it was a funny picture and only knickers on view, I didn't think it would have offended anyone. Lesson learned.

I thought you had read the title as " so low" :D

Mind you, although I wouldn't want to see Pit Babes on this site, that's not why I come here, I do think everyone is being a bit too pc.

I dont mate, thin end of the wedge and all that...
Previously I chatted on another forum and during the '06 season couldn't wait to get on line after the races, but as the forum became more popular it steadily went downhill till the senseless bickering drove me away altogether.
The standard has been set and should be maintained.

I did Phil.
It was the male equivalent of the "racers stripped to the waist" type thing that the "ladies" of the site have posted -- but from the other end!

I'm working on a mod that resizes pics to fit the forum but links to the larger original.

Thanks to all, some great pics to check out. Does Joey's nephew, Mickey, have a landscaping business by chance? High speed trimming there. I've got one to add from days gone by to scan and post of the clown prince sittin' on his tail.

Donington 2005.

Rome certainly wasn't burning that day - but Valentino still played his fiddle! ;)

Loris at full speed, back in 1992.
He's about to violently lean into the corner, you're about to see here counter-steering at its best.
And, look, no winglets here either !
