The guy on the Gixxer blows his line too on the way back up the road if you check out the next pic down on Killboy. Both need some driving lessions.

He was probably just following the 'wing's example

Im definitely not the fastest, but I prefer the rest of it be as close to "my" perfect as I can get it.
I'd have to say I'm more like this although I kind of know as I enter the turn if I'm going to get through it the way I want or not. If I don't, then I blew it.

Crossing any lines on the road is crappy along with not getting through the corner as smoothly or at the speed I think I could have taken it at.
