awesome. Is that the custom tank cam setup you also tested in your R15? This one looks super stable.Originally posted by Killer View PostCoimbatore Kari Race track - Yamaha R6 onboard video

I've ordered a tank mount from the US, the one i made wasnt working, it should arrive in a couple of weeks. I just duct taped the camera to the tank in the above video, thats why u cant see much of the track...thought it came out ok though.Originally posted by pranay View Postawesome.

The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

I wasnt racing the Duc by the way, i was just riding behind him to see how he was doing and give him feedback, but yeah that bike has a lot of grunt out of the cornersOriginally posted by Samyaza View PostBut i agree, the R6 vs Ducati vid would have been sweet!

Originally posted by L.P.I could see where you were busy,when i asked,Never Mind..You answered your own question dude.Originally posted by L.P.We could not reach the right place to do it.. So..i still repent i wasted the day,more because of fellow members were scared,because they had been performing stunts there!
Just to enlighten you a bit Dear LP if you follow moder school of thought on leaning shifting the weight coupled with right body position is the way to go thorough a corner irrespective of the fact your bike is equipped with 17 inchers or 18 inchers. And just for your info P220 on which kenda did those awesome leans is also fitted with 17 inchers.Originally posted by L.P.I can only say.. you leaned wel.. but scraping the footpegs is not what we look for.. at this stage in the above pics,the Bike is way to leaned,you can do this with a 17" incher but not with a machine like HUNK..
It will throw you off my dear.. i doubt why no1 told you this at the time when you were doing it...
For an 18" incher leaning,we have to shift more of our weight..rather than bending the bike..
This is what is to be done on discover,b'cz it is center wieght but not this!!!
Can you lean my bike as it is shown in Kenda's avatar..!!
If you think YES, you are mistaken! if you shidt your wieght,you loose the grip!..
I wont or rather say cant go in details as i am no expert on the topic.
PS: As a good friends of yours i will advice you two things first please drop this pesudo "i know it all" attitude of yours, and second please read your post atleast once before posting to ensure that its making sense. Peace.

i am no pro so please don't laugh at what i am going to say:
here it goes,I have had my scooty for some time and wanted to try how far i can lean on it before i loose control, and one day i had the guts . i drove my scooty to a sharp curve and bent to turn but as i bent i could hear a sharp scratching noise and when i stopped the scooty i realized i scratched the stand which was perfectly in its place at the bottom of the scooty.i wanted to ask if the bend which i made is good or i need improvements?
BTW my scooty is a 3.5 yrs old activa
