Thanks for that last photo. In all cases I knew I was countersteering effectively into the lean but really didn't feel like I was leaned that much, certainly not as much as in that last photo. I guess it's hard to sense your relative lean angle from the saddle.
There’s an organization for circuit racing and another one for sprint (drag) racing. Phil and Kris of Rocket Race Club actually invited some of them as their guests to Bikers’ Festival. Below, we talk to Jesco for more details and video about his 88-hp Vespa drag scooter. Are you interested in sponsoring the Rocket Race Club series?

A highly-modified Vespa scooter thinks it has enough horsepower to go up against an almost stock, BMW E92 M3. The BMW outguns the Vespa 10:1, in terms of horsepower, but it also weighs a lot more, which results in some surprisingly close races. BMW E92 M3Representing the four-wheel community is a BMW E92 M3 1 out of 500 Limited Edition. The M3 weighs around 3,527 pounds (1,600 kg), which gives it a power-to-weight ratio of 286 horsepower per ton. As for the quarter-mile, the BMW M3 manages 12.77 seconds at 112.6 mph (181.2 km/h).versus the Vespa’s 13.42 seconds at 97.4 mph (156.7 km/h).
In this Officially Gassed – OG video, a customized Vespa scooter is pitted against BMW’s lone M3 with a naturally aspirated V8, the E92. The E92 M3 stands out for its impressive performance and handling, thanks to a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing approximately 430 hp. When paired with the optional DCT (dual-clutch transmission), the E92 M3 achieves a 0-60 mph time of around 4.5 seconds. Initially generating a modest four horsepower, the modified Vespa now delivers a formidable 43 hp. How did the modified Vespa fare against the more powerful BMW?
Our drag races hub currently consists of more than 500 articles, featuring countless different combinations of vehicles. There’s a good number of races between a car and a bike, but we’ve never seen a battle like this one. Cars Versus Bikes:On the left, in turn, is a Vespa scooter. The video at the top of this page is almost 13 minutes long and after the introduction of the vehicles and their drivers, there’s a series of drag races. First, a classic quarter-mile race from a standing start followed by a roll start drag race.
So far, the best tutorial on how to do it in Paraview comes from http://www.vespalabs.org/projects/vespa-cfd-3d-model/openfoam-vespa-tutorialBut I had to modify some steps in order for this to work. I’ll step you through (This works for Paraview 5.x):Load the STL file and tick off Camera Parallel Projection. For the next step to work properly, we have also to rotate them so they lie on the XY plane. The area measured by this method is of 2.37032 m2, which is very close to the 2.367 m2 I measured using proprietary software. In step 2, if using Select Cells On, the resulting area is of about 1.9x m2 as it misses many cells with this particular geometry:
