This photo has been going around for the past week and even though I have no idea who it is and I’m pretty sure it’s a couple years old, it’s never too late for an RTS. A lot of what makes a good scrub is showmanship. Every racer knows that a scrub has its purposes as far as speed goes, but really, a lot of the reason that you do it is because it makes you look cool and makes women want your shit in their area. A distinct aura of pizzazz can be the difference between a modest smile bar turn and a panty-removing mega scrub. This kid has pizzazz for days; leg out, skidplate above seat, and in the middle of a look back to let the camera know how awesome he is. Probably had this shit on rev limiter the whole time, too. It may not make any difference at all as far as speed is concerned, but it definitely sends the signal that you are a testosterone-driven alpha male ninja and that is all that anyone really cares about. It’s all a mind game in moto.
I give it a hard 2/2 because any woman with any level of self-respect (preferably none) would get down with this scrub.
P.S. – This is Europe all the way. At least 3 dead giveaways in the photo.
