I have been fortunate enough to race in a number of series with people on very similar bikes to mine, and the same tyres, and see, time and again, that some people can carry unbelievable corner speed. Some of it is set up, and some of it is the rider, but when both are present, you witness the incredible. But it's true.
I find it awesome, not awful.
But I did love seeing inside chass' engine, cos it showed just how beautifully it was running - squish set to perfection, mixture absolutely spot-on, probably running avgas from the colour (forgot to ask).
In fact all the signs of a blueprint-level top end and meticulous set up, which is what all my classic racing contacts tell me is where you should always start before you do anything special.
