(from the little sessions i have has on the track with rockets) but it does help you to come out of your turn and on a bike with good sport suspension you will actually feel the bike lift you up out of the turn, this makes it easier for you to lay into the next one... fork braces and stearing dampers REALLY help this!!!!

Ain't gonna take it so far as to drag the primary or the pipes, just close. Draggin hard parts would surely be scary, probably disastrous if it lifted the rear tire.
