The skittering of the front tire in a hard corner is an exhillerating moment. I did that with a Technium PRE when trying to show off to a car following me down a country lane. A brisk downhill put me at 27mph facing a true 15mph corner (for a car). Before I could set up properly the edge of the pavement was right next to my front tire. I leaned and cranked, the sudden tire shuttering and bar rattling my grip, the Technium behaved and shot me out to the middle of the lane. I waved and shot a grin as the car went by. At that moment there was no other bike I'd rather battle a corner with.
