Elbow down on a 600

I was trying to remember who it was that scraped his elbows on a 600. I think it's Jason O'halloran. Take a peek.

I think it was Ben Bostrom or his bro always was scrapping his elbow on the track on his ZX7R....

The view point and compresion of the photo is subjective, knee may be down but elbow could still be a long way off. Speed is also a point of contention, tis far easier to reach this angle of lean at a low speed than high.
Quite a bloody good picture though, would be proud if it was me pictured here.

Believe me...this guy scrapes his elbows regularly. I have not only seen photos of him doing it, but I have also been both in the box seat (behind him at a practice day) and seen him do it from trackside!!!
