That's an excellent video.

Are there any more? Be good if there were a few on picking lines, etc....

Not quite - I used to have a TT500C, the aluminium-tank model Yammie. It had a 'few' mods, not the least of which was a really good set of Pirelli Dual-Compound tyres (can't remember the name, this was back in 1989) - they were great on tar :P

around a long sweeping L hander on one of the main roads up here , there was a lot of paspalum grass growing right up to the edge of the gutter..........

I used to belt around that corner, with the knee just above the gutter, and take the L hand off the bars, drop it a bit, and run it through the top of the paspalum........sure, its not the ground, but the paspalum was *attached* to the ground :lol: and it felt really cool .

Nostalgia trip over.......wish I had kept *that* bike, it was a ripper....

I've dragged my whole right side, but I wasn't on the bike anymore. Does that count?

One of our very own Admins from here in SA. Haven't got a pic of him doing both at the same time, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it.
