Quite different from my 'dirt bike refugee/Doohan imitation' style, somewhat like this but a lot further from the ground. [laugh] :P

I think he's at the limit. ;D
I've had that same class with those two guys, very informative [thumbsup]
What I've learned is that when you ride like that, you have to lean the bike over way more to go trough a corner at the same speed because there is less weight going towards the inside of the corner. Thusly, you are more prone to finding the limit of your bike and tyres and lowsiding :-[
