Well since it wasn't my bike I tried to keep the front wheel mostly on the ground but holy crap those things go fast. I'll never stop loving thrashing the Skyline around a track but there is something to be said for hanging off the side of an engine on wheels, your face 50cm from the ground and your knee and elbow closer, while you scream around a corner.
My postie was no slouch either, keeping up with a mate on his R1 around the twisties only to see him disappear into the distance every time we hit the straight.
