That's the exit of a hairpin for the inside bike so for as much poo poo talking HD as we do, this one appears to be the tourer's mistake.

He looks like he's zooming in closer to kiss the Harley rider, that's pretty bad target fixation.

From the comments to that article, by the guy who wrote the article:

"They’ve got helmets and at least partial leathers.

my justification for not using all safety equipment all the time is that I’m an organ donor, so I’m going into it knowing it might kill me and I’m okay with that. “Life free or die”"

So, will the paint melt when you bring the tire up to temp and lead to a lowside or is it just ugly?

That's at the apex. It's where I learned that it's my stand that scrapes first, not my peg feeler.

But lean angle doesn't matter anyway. You can be slow and get the bike leaned over all the way and fast dudes can have chicken strips.

I am not, because it's not the aesthetic I am going for, and will seem "too much" on my ktm. My buddy has a pristine black CBR with blue anodized fittings/everything, that he dailys, and it looks fantastic. You seem very angry about the whole thing, though.
