Motorcycle Riding School - Lession 2, Cornering ;-)

[andyversus]

Tutto da rifare. Piega meno e spostati sulla sella.

the centerline is should be double orange color not white color dumb ass.

let go that brake in that turn

[AntzBandit12]

Hanging off a little would have reduced some of that lean angle, leaving a little lean in reserve for the unknown. Luckily, both tires and road surface were good. Otherwise, it might have turned nasty. Still, hat off to the rider; I'd call that brave cornering... Check out my own video "Smooth Cornering" by AntzBandit12 to see what I'm talking about. Enjoy riding all. :)

horrible body position but great countersteering and even greater balls!!! :)

Scraping the pegs if you need to get that low to get round the bend but if your scraping youve hit the bend too fast really because the tyre is at its low end of grip and scraping lessens rear end grip even further, good road positioning but it would have been better without the scrape, good luck

if it sounded like a piece of shit........

It's been great 3 days of track riding in Croatia! I found the limits and it was good fun. On the third day I passed some liter sportbikes. Next time I'll have real slick tires, as the limit for the Michelin Pilot Power was 3-4 laps max before they got too hot. Still, I was not able to hang-off and drag knees. Either my leather was too tight or I'm a wussy. I guess second one is more true. Though I'm almost 2 meters long it's hard to bend over the tank and get my weight on the inside...

[Sbafokkio]

So how was the track day? Did you find out your limits?

[elektriple]

yeah I know, thanks. See, this vid is from 2006. Got decent riding skills by now. Will go on the track for 3 days in May to find out the limits of the bike...and mine.

[bajabilly2004]

try countersteering the bike will just fall over into the corner, in a left hand corner push against your left handlebar and the bike will just fall into the corner, practice at a slow speed first though lol

[roadmonitoroz]

Did anyone hear the horn blast towards the end of the video ? Maybe from the mercedes that had passed earlier...

[elektriple]

Thanks, that's a great input. I have to remind though it was my first experience with a bike. Today I'm a pretty good rider, although I don't use the rear brake in public roads for corner stability. It's not that I drive "digital" with the throttle full on or off, specially in corners :-) Rather than braking, I ride with smooth throttle through the corners and hard braking and gear shifting _before_ the corner (even when making use of the slipper clutch)...think this is the safest bet.

[wcutrumpat]

smooth throttle through the corner is the best bet, as well as braking and downshifting before the corner. i would suggest getting your weight to the inside of the bike, hips facing into the corner so as to decrease the amount of lean... those pegs scraping could cause the pressure on the rear to lessen and cause a lowside, or worse a highside

[not4resale]

sure, sure, you just want him to get his knee down! hahaha

[advancedbiker1]

shutting the throttle into the bend like that and then opening it within the bend does liitle for Dynamic stablity suggest you read Keith Code matie and make friend with your rear brake

[dearpixel]

That's not suitable for street riding.

[NightRid3rs77]

poor Peggs

[filtonkingswood]

Very smoth riding.... but you are very close to the shoulder of the road and this is where all the crap accumulates. Iv see a few come off riding too close to the shoulder like that.
