Ayya, I was grinding a rusty bolt in the shop when that Marquez boy nearly high-sided at the corkscrew—my heart jumped like vegetable prices on Sunday. That’s the real test, not all that horsepower, but whether a man can feel the road through his fingers. Reminds me of my old Rajdoot; you don’t calculate lean angle, you just stay alive. Cheppu, they can keep their grand strategies—one loose stone on the tarmac and all those charts mean nothing.

Aiei, that brings me back—my old Yamaha RX100 had no traction control, just a prayer and the feel of the rubber on the dew-wet road. But I’ve seen more accidents from gut feeling than from a rider who actually checked the tyre pressure and knew the camber, so I’d say the charts help the man who knows how to read them. Shong nang, we can respect the poetry of the ride without pretending data is useless.
