Never "passed it"... 3 individual still photos with an elaborate system of strings to hold the bike in place for each picture...
But seriously.. that's just a corner on my own personal little route ... bin riding that route for a good 17+ years... never any cops.. lots of twisties... pissed off neighbours

Nice pics Fish..... It is an and off camber up hill (leaning into the Hill shot) BUT none the less it looks great. How was the dinner??
I can't see the rest of the turn but it looks like if you were going the other direction the very point in which you have a knee down in that direction would be the point where you may lowside or run wide. It appears to be a decreasing radius at that point if you were going the other way.

curve is flat, pretty much no camber... hill starts very slighty after exit of corner and goes into a set of 4 other hairpins with multi-million dollar houses around then. Photo is slighty deceiving as silver car on adjacent road is uphill from curve (ie: curve is lower down and flat) Neighbours no likey me.

Funny thing, 10 is a little harder to corner on that curve... 10 seems to turn a little slower than the 14 in some ways... feels like I'd have to be going way faster to achieve the same thing on the 10 vs the 14.. or it could just be the weight... or maybe because yer sitting "higher up" on the 10 vs the 14? if the weather holds out, time permitting, I'll take the 10 out fer same pix tomorrow.

Fish................Be extra careful!!!!!! Playing for the camera often ends up badly. I take your word for it.

Well it don't look like death would happen if you did run wide, BUT it would leave a mark. Now going the other direction and running wide would be very bad from what I can see. OK then let's see the 10 leaving a 50' black mark from the apex out
The pavement also looks perfect  very smooth and with tons of grip. Funny how those multi Million dollar homes have nice smooth roads around them

going fast the other way is a no-no... blind corner blocker by bushes with oncoming traffic and driveways.... like I said.. this is my personal little route, carefully marked out over 17 years.. you can only run it clockwise... works quite well... it's about 15 miles of stuff like this... a few corners are ruined (and have always been ruined) by leaking swimming pools etc... still makes me laugh that it's the same corners and the same pools that leak in the same places year in year out. AT least it's predictable
