Not Harley's but man can they lean them over

[longlast]

Check out the front wheels.  All the detail you can see (nice fast shutter speed?) and their contact areas plus the verticality of the whip antenna.  I'm not convinced those are "live" images.  Think they're laid over and staged for a cool pic.  It is a cool pic though.

Good eye 2lane.....without doubt staged. Look at outboard bike crashbar, that much contact and its over!!!!!!!

Yeap, the crashbar position was another giveaway.  Those big bikes just don't lean that much without sliding out from beneath themselves.  Still a cool pic though.  And much less rider pucker when the bikes are actually sitting still  !

Also, who would ride that hard with the chin bar up on their helmet?

I think it's staged as well but have to tell you I bought a 2001 Goldwing from a guy that was a very aggressive rider. Both exhaust covers were ground thru in spots and both LH & RH front crash bars were ground thru as well. The only time I got it over that far I had dropped it.  Never could figure out how he could have done it without crashing but somehow he did.  Oh I have caught myself with my chin bar up several times pisses me off when it happens.

What's a chin bar?                Signed: No helmet......no brains

I was just looking at the machines.  Yeap, someone wanted his pretty face in the photo.

I'm impressed that they figured out how to chock those heavy bikes to hold them in that position w/o crushing the rider's feetcies.  har.  spyder

Maybe the caption should be "help we've fallen and we can't get up!" ?

Me too. Tried enlarging the photo to see if I could see the chock but it gets too blurred. Appears something is behind Goldwing riders right leg but it's black like his pant leg so I can't tell

Cut and paste...

[ultrarider123]

Notice the front wheel on the bimmer....it's turned toward the curve of the road, not away from it as it should be in a lean/angle/curve that steep.  The Wing's front wheel is turned correctly but it sure doesn't look like any force is on that tire in a lean that drastic.  Also, no matter what you are riding in a curve that leaned over, if you were dragging your knees that much you would not be making it upright by the end of same curve.  Yep, staged but sure looks good for the casual observer....be a fun picture to have on the wall to start a conversation.

Some footage of their club meeting. There is some fairly aggressive riding in spots. Lol
