Not kidding!

One of the most awesome things I saw at the Euro finals was one of the TF bikes do a low 6 run on the back wheel for over 2/3 of the track, with the back tire squirming around.

Good pictures Phil!

When they have to lean the bike over with all their body weight, almost all their body on the side of the bike to get the huge rear slick to turn those few degrees... while the front wheel is in the air.... at 200mph :eek::eek: :notworthy
