Re: Questions about entering a corner
be carefull lope, i sacked road riding completely after a few track days lol, i learnt so much on track about my own ability that i couldnt stand riding on our shit british roads anymore! i reckon hand on heart that the only place you will learn to be a better/faster/safer rider is on track as everything is in a controled environment, and when i did ride on the road again i ended up crashing mynew bikeLope wrote:As they say in twist of the wrist 'your concentration is a $10 bill' I'm spending at least $2 on braking, $2 on gearing down, $5 on blipping the throttle and feathering the clutch and $1 on leaning, counter steering, and body positioning (which I'm quite used to)
So its taking a focus getting it all done right.
Maybe time on the track is the best cure. On my first (and only) trackday my skills improved 10x. I passed up on the last one cos I'm a bit broke atm :) but will do one in a month or two. (they're sort of once a month or less)

to summerise my little (crap) story get some track time under your belt and you will be able to better practice your turn in drill and will ultimately become a better rider.
p.s. sorry if i offended anyone with my rant about andy ibbot i read what i wrote and maybe i was a little harsh

cheers
