    Texas!
    Well, my two cents (and not even that frankly) is that what appears to be smooth from the outside can be anything but when your ass is two inches off the ground and that gravel is coming up mighty fast!

    To me smoothness is not making mistakes that you have to waste time correcting. But I could be wrong.

    That's as good a description for "smooth" as I've seen. :)

    Smoothness is also being able to catch mistakes you do make before they're an issue. Keeping polar moment in a happy place.

    Have been studying cornering technique, cornering dynamics and a LOT of different practitioners for a long time! :)

    Being a professional mechanic for a quarter decade has helped. :D

    Agreed!

    I've got two Giulietta Spider Veloces, here's one at VIR. Pretty good slip angle, huh?
