The only thing I can imagine there that is impressive is the size of his balls for riding that line...no room for error or adjustment in line...besides, isnt that the "dirty" line with all the fall foliage on the road?? Not the mention the pee gravel hes about to enter...
yep, pretty much sums it up!!
No where to go? How does that make any sense?? Sure there is no where to go...right...Anyone can tighten a line up why would you need to run wider then outside of the turn?
I am pretty sure what KB was talking about was running wide at the start of a turn and exit more towards the middle. That line is perfectly safe.
You make a very valid point KO3gsxr750.
Non-believers, look where the rider is looking, it is obvious he is about to flick it in. He is looking through the turn where he is going to go, like a dude who knows what the fuck he is doing.
Where is the room for error hugging the yellow line? Room to get your ass run over like roadkill.
I have decided that some who do not like the "outside line" are people that feel the need to have a full lane to slide across while locking up the back brake and ignoring the front. On the R1200 RT pictured, that will not be happening.

The rear-brakes only crowd call it "Laying'er Down", and pretend they did it on purpose.
MARBLES !
I am thinking anyone riding the Dragon would have watching out for "marbles" on their list, and deal with them accordingly?

I am a paramedic for three different services. I work about 92 hours each week in an ambulance. I get stories all of the time about "I had to 'Lay'er Down' to keep from crashing." I usually laugh in their face and tell them that I take my chances on my tires. Then I usually inform them that the front brake would have kept them upright. I usually get told that I would not understand, because I am not a biker. The guys I work with laugh, my motorcycle is my car. I ride to work year 'round (in northeast Ohio), so my coworkers know that I have a few miles under my belt (17,000 so far this year), and they get a laugh out of the "you wouldn't understand" argument.
As you said before, this guy's line looks great. I am sure that he is taking all of the road conditions into account while riding the outside line. As you said before, it looks as if he is entering the turn on the outside, getting ready to turn in. He is also on a VERY capable bike (I may be biased though), the only problem I see with the photo is his RT is not the fast RED color.
