No... Those are the stupid ones. I wrecked in shorts/windbreaker. Let me tell you - it wasn't pretty, OR bad ass - and it definitely proved how STUPID I was at 21 years old! :(

ah, Ben Bostrom -- looks like either Road Atlanta or VIR. moto-heros like ben can actually save a front end slide with those knee pucks, mere mortals like myself drag them at the entry to a corner as sort of a lean angle gauge, and then pick them up just a hair. i'm going to have to go find the photo of mem with my elbow and inch or two off the ground now...

there are actually photos somewhere (i'll see if i can find them) of a guy in a sidecar rig dragging his head. sidecar monkeys will actually have sliders sewn onto the seats of their leathers, as well as the knees.

okay, no helmet dragging as yet...

and here is why you probably don't want to be the monkey on a sidecar...

it's debateable who got it worse in that crash. notice that the driver was UNDER the sidecar, while the monkey got catapulted over the top. sidecar drivers and monkeys are a special breed unto themselves.

i would love to see check out the tires on these bikes after a race. i bet the edges are completley fryed.

i've destroyed more sets of motorcycle race tires than i care to think about. one day at t-hill, i nuked a set so badly that they weren't symetrical anymore. the left hand side was beveled off really badly, and both sides had rubber balled up on the edges. some guys spin the tires enough to put grooves in them.
