Old school riding style
There's a lengthy thread on Pelican about cornering techniques. I don't want to start it over here .... but I would like to share my contribution to that thread...
It's a video clip of me on a Assen track day being overtaken by a guy on a 30yr old Kawasaki 3 cilinder two stroke. He's showing how it's done: riding fast without making a fuzz or act like a monkey on a bike.
Enjoy:

Here's another clip. This guy knows how to ride a R1200S. Fast .. and smooth... no need to do on-board acrobatics.

...if you hear that Yapanese-on-board-camere-bike screaming, it gives you an idea of the speed they are doing...
...strange thing is though ; a boxer doesn't give you the feeling it is going THAT fast...
