This is, of course, true. The only people who can tolerate something like that are those who never do a "hard lean".......parts scrape before you roll over on the edge of the tire..........and those who are just plain stupid.

If one leans your body a lot, it is possible to ride a street bike with very little lean to the bike itself. I will assume that anybody who posts here falls into that category, as we all know nobody here would be stupid enough to lean a tire over on a 1 inch ridge going around a corner!!

We DO know that, don't we ???????
