in relation to this and keith's dollar theory... how does it relate with riders like rossi that pretty much go beyond and overdraw their traction and slide out... as controlled and precise as he is... i would think that (keeping physics in mind) more traction would amount to max potential for speed... so would it not be more preferable to not skid out the rear like that or is this all just personal style and taste for each rider...

my morning java curiosity question...


Well I would say it depends on the corner really I know there are a few corners at buttonwillow that I will lay some rubber down while exiting and for me it feels like at that point with the set up on the bike that is the fastest your gonna exit that corner, ive done the same corner and just tryed to apply throttle smoother but I just dont get the same drive out of the corner or top speed between corners.
