I don't know if any of you saw this, but I saw it posted on another site. Nicky Hayden did just about the same thing during the race, but not quite to the extent Colin took it. I think Nicky even did it in the same turn, but I'm not positive about that. Check it out!

That's some masterful riding and a good piece of luck! Nice use of the ole elbow to keep the bike off the track:eek:

:shock: Both videos are blowing my mind. That vid of Colin shows just how comfortable and calm the pros are at riding on the edge.

Did you see the save Lorenzo made in the same race?

Yes, yes & yes

Nicky was at same turn> Him 4th was great - didn't have a problem w/ finish results, except for the guy who won.

Jorge Lorenzo's must have switched off the traction control out of that turn, a wheelie w/ a tank slapper - it was a save & a beaut.

that one is a classic save...I still can't believe it every time I see it. Don't know if he's lucky or good

I'd say lucky+good+a guardian angel working overtime.

Amazing, watch him during the rest of that qaulifing lap where he's just "cruising". Him cruising = me going as fast as possible with still a lower time than him just "cruising". Crazy talent and balls, I don't know how they can stay seated with balls that big.

The bigger the rollers the better the ass moves over the seat of the bike. Masterful talent. Awesome!

Calm, cool and collected. He's lowsided so many times, the thought doesn't bother him. Especially since somebody esle buys his motorcycles.

I have read in the past his description of using his knee to lift the bike and get the tires back on the ground. It is also a good gauge of lean angle. Pretty amazing how the tire just let go at steady-state in the middle of the turn. Normally it happens at corner entry.

Yeah, that's the MOST amazing save I've ever seen. Pretty sure that's V. Rossi.

Sweet. I wish I could have done that the morning I lowsided.

I thought so too at first, but that bike wears a #1 plate/decal and I don't think Rossi, even as reigning champ, has ever run anything but #46.

I searched around but can't find who it is or when or where it was.

Talking about the other video. Appears to be on a 250 or some such. Looks like his style of helmet. Anyway I remember someone saying it was him, for whatever that's worth.

I have the Corsa too and love it, my brother got his used from craigslist but I wanted a valid warranty so I got it here. Corsa Exhaust 14218 (http://allexhaust.com/product.php?productid=1187?odj), or you can try one of the sponsors here on the forum, they are allways having sales/specials. Either way its a great exhaust system, sounds great, and very easy to install.
