Drifting ... you're doing it right ...

Me too, sweet stuff to see - there's a guy on YouTube that drifts a whole racecourse, white bike and leathers and looked like a blast - these guys have serious "controls" talent

*blast meaning fun, not a Buell:-P*

I don't recall if it was on this site, or on the WERA board, but there is video of some pretty big tail-wag high-speed drifts on a bike somewhere out there on the internet.

They stretched the bike to make it easier to control at high-speeds, which the WERA guys were really critical of. I don't see anything wrong with it. Of course it's more impressive when Stoner does it at 150 mph with his elbow on the ground, but the stretched swing-arm allowed him to throw the back tire out a lot further without as much potential for losing control.
