I swear Rossi's got radar and GPS in the top of his head.
There's no other explanation for it.

I think he dropped a roach on the previous lap and is looking for it.

it goes back further...here's Frankie Chili...




and here's an image of an old DML'r and duc.ms'r (don't remember his name/handle) on a track day in Greece from a few years back that I saved as an example of what you can do on a Monster that goes nicely with what we are discussing here...

I never felt comfortable leaning my S4RS over that far, I'm sure it was just me.



Elias' position always makes me laugh... where'd he go??!!

Damn! I loved that bike!!

It was capable of surprising the hell out of Jap 600 riders and did on many occasions ;)

It was rock steady in turns, just a little reluctant to turn in.

thank you, Captain Obvious.  :)

"Release" corner at MMP:

Corser looking down?  He took 2nd place in race one, but crashed in this same corner in race 2.



Checa looking through the corner (Kiyonari in back).  Checa won both races.
