Normally as you lean a bike over the contact patch gets bigger.

Reminds me of the vids on you tube where the guy wearing a snipers came suit actually gets his head down rather than just knees and elbows lol

@Skyliner33 Scott Reading used to get his helmet down as a celebration when he won in Moto2.....insane lean angles.

Road rash and disfigurement that happens in Thailand, stays in Thail... oh, hang on.
