By David Emmett | Wed, 29/06/2011 - 10:00


Whenever you've heard people use the term "highside", this is what they mean


Spot what's wrong with this picture


Assen's GT chicane gets a lot of traffic in the gravel


The aftermath, emotional and physical


"Don't let go of the clutch, don't let go of the clutch, don't let go of the clutch..."


At least they're only breaking fiberglass in Moto2

to work properly in the rain,

to work properly in the rain, the dominant chevron pattern should be point up when looking at the rear tire from behind (or the front tire from the front). That way water is swept out from the middle of the tire under dominant slip conditions (rear - under power, front - under braking).

rear tire is on correctly.

Clip-ons?

By "wrong" do you mean destroyed?
The throttle-side clip-on looks to be in real bad shape.

Aside from the clip-on pointing the wrong way....I'd say it's the rider checking to see if his bollocks are intact!
