Yeah, I thought exactly the same when I watched the MotoGP today.

Something to do with momentum, centrifugal force, and very sticky rubber!

Casey Stoner's bike handling skills are especially epic  :notworthy:

You are forgetting Mu the coefficient of friction which is the biggest reason they don't fall off.

Best feeling in the world sliding around a corner like that, (not that i have been that low  :laugh: )
But i love the feeling of the bike sliding sideways through the cormer and balancing it on the knee.
Epic picture.

A fast car is just a substitute  :signLOL:
