The rear tyre is made of worn out piston rings - very clever.

Thanks Grumpy, I was wondering what they were. Didn't look close enough.

And yet, the accuracy of the art captured the whole racing motorcycle and rider.

I don't know. To me it looks as if he's coming off. . Nev

In a lot of racing, the rider slides his knee almost along the ground and sits a bit on the low side.

I think it's a accurate depiction of Ken Blake's cornering style.

This image isn't mine but it is taken from a better angle.

Also, when a motorcyle is cornering, the rider holds the front wheel a bit away from the direction of the turn. That is counter intuitive, but the artist seems to have captured that.

I have to disagree. To me it looks all wrong. Nev
