The lean angles seem to be getting more extreme every year.

Casey Stoner of Australia and Ducati Marlboro Team rounds the bend during the final day of the MotoGP test at Sepang International Circuit, near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on February 5, 2010.


On any Sunday.
Yea Jim, right on. I love this pic. I can't help but think of a phonograph record and Mr. Stoner being the needle in the groove. He is definitely thinking three turns ahead.
Like the tail of a kite.
I've gone 'round the bend' a few times in my life & this chilling photograph reminds me of a time I used to hold a kitchen match in my teeth & while roller skating (four wheeled skates) bend down to the side with arms & legs counterbalanced & strike the match in my teeth.
I met the skate floor many times learning this act.
