Colin Edwards Saves it!
I don't know if any of you saw this, but I saw it posted on another site. Nicky Hayden did just about the same thing during the race, but not quite to the extent Colin took it. I think Nicky even did it in the same turn, but I'm not positive about that. Check it out!

Great save, and great post save reaction by Edwards. Check out this one.http://youtube.com/watch?v=BGKhkO-SsDk
Both videos are blowing my mind. That vid of Colin shows just how comfortable and calm the pros are at riding on the edge.

Yes, yes & yes
Nicky was at same turn> Him 4th was great - didn't have a problem w/ finish results, except for the guy who won.
Jorge Lorenzo's must have switched off the traction control out of that turn, a wheelie w/ a tank slapper - it was a save & a beaut.

Amazing, watch him during the rest of that qaulifing lap where he's just "cruising". Him cruising = me going as fast as possible with still a lower time than him just "cruising". Crazy talent and *****, I don't know how they can stay seated with ***** that big.

Calm, cool and collected. He's lowsided so many times, the thought doesn't bother him. Especially since somebody esle buys his motorcycles.
I have read in the past his description of using his knee to lift the bike and get the tires back on the ground. It is also a good gauge of lean angle. Pretty amazing how the tire just let go at steady-state in the middle of the turn. Normally it happens at corner entry.

I searched around but can't find who it is or when or where it was.

I have the Corsa too and love it, my brother got his used from craigslist but I wanted a valid warranty so I got it here. Corsa Exhaust 14218, or you can try one of the sponsors here on the forum, they are allways having sales/specials. Either way its a great exhaust system, sounds great, and very easy to install.
