It'll be interesting to hear the riders feedback about these. They are very enclosed. I suspect they have some use like that on the straights but I question how effective they'll be when cornering.

I reckon on the curves their use will amount to "bugger all"....which is how it should be.

Yeah....I can "imagine" a highside pretty well indeed, thank you very much.

Like every single time I move my right leg, for example.

I must admit I'm great at the first bit, a bit average at the second bit, but comfortable enough with my own stupidity and ineptitude to master the last bit.
