    Hey thanks Joey... just loved your comment, btw the black R15 is mine...

    Rachit, freakinn awesome lean in that first pic!!!!!! Good posture too. Super! One question, you on stock rubbers?

    Ketan, your position is the best for the non-butt-out style. In other words great for the "lean-with-the-bike" style cornering. Now you need to slowly try the knee-out style. Good luck for that bro!

    Ashish(SB) great stoppie dude! With all the stunting R15 pics dotting the cyber highway each day, makes me wonder whether I should try and acquire a used but non-abused(hardly likely) R15. Seems to be a cinch to stunt on that bike.

    Man, I hope I get to ride on lavasa soon. Else, i'd probably have to yank my hair out in frustration after any more such pics.

    Anywho, awesome stuff and yes, I have said it before and again I second Joel. So that the new xBhpians may know that a lot goes into executing safe cornering pics on single lane highways like the ones pictured here.

    Ride Safe!
    Joey

    I see some traffic and public on the road in a few pics. Nice learning sessions. But just be a little more careful as its too dangerous to try.
    Also you guys need to position the body right before the lean to get better speeds and to improve cornering confidence. A few are in a "body out aka lean-out" posture which is super-moto style.
    Just find a safe spot for such sessions and also wear knee guards.

    God speed!
