A rather embarrassing revelation

[BillyIndiana]

First time the kicked kinda caught me off guard. Second time I just rode through it and the tire grabbed the road no problem. I will play with it. Not really bothering me yet just a surprise. Advice welcome. Thanks

ITS CALLED SMOOOTH BABY SMOOOTH THATS WHAT YOU WANT ON THE BIG BEAST NO HERKY JERKY THROTTLE AND TAKE IT EASY TILL YOU GET SOME EXPIERIENCE ON THE BIG RIG YOULL GET THE HANG OF IT BUT IT TAKES SOME PRACTICE JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND DONT CRASH

Pick your speed going in, and power out of the curve. Don't ever let off in a turn. The back end unloads,which means the back raises up and your center of gravity gets higher too. If you think you are too fast once in, lower your body into the turn, and counter steer a little harder. Don't look at the shoulder of the road. Always look where you want to go, the bike will go where you focus.

To add to that, if you KNOW your too hot going in, lean your body much further in, look at where you want to go, steady throttle, and gently VERY gently drag the rear brake. The drag will plant the rear and slightly tighten your line up. If you let off and hit the brakes your almost certain to crash. If you do as steel and I describe you'll most likely come out unscathed but need some new shorts!!

To add one point, don't judge a rider by the full use or not of the rear tire. I still have about 5mm on the outside edges thatve never touch pavement, but I lean heavily off the bike, so I don't have to use the whole tire for the same speed a non leaning rider would use the whole tire.

I know people think "slow rider" if the whole tires not used, but 9/10 times the guys who use 100% of their tire keep their butts stationary in the saddle, requiring more angle. That 1/10 guy that does move butt off seat and still uses the whole tire edge to edge, he's fast as fox.

There's at least one rider on these boards that has seen me haul ****ing ass through a hard turn and not drag anything while he has dragging all the things trying to match my pace.
