He should be the photographer in the corner.

Or maybe I should. :laughing:

No, you'd be safer being the photographer in the air balloon...
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Screw the balloon... it's not like I'm going to take pictures of the race!


I'm talking about the photographer in the corner of that first picture... taking a photo of the A-Style logo..... and it looks worth the risk.
Ride it like you think owning it matters.

i also know that i have to lean forward to lessen the chance of a wheelie.

I think you change "get lucky enough" to "get skilled enough" and then you should change "do some amature racing" to "not kill myself riding a motorcycle in the real world"

so, in essence...
