now, I know they say stick to the outside of the bend... but it seems to me the danger is increased that either the back or front wheel may make contact with some lose gravel/mud that has spilled onto the road. I just dont like planting my bike too close to the edge of the road when cornering, as he does at 00:07. Not to say its the wrong thing to do... but I still dont like it.

Try to lean with to bike instead of doing the exact opposit. turning your upper body a into the corner improves your visual without losing contact with the tank. A superbike school is a perfect way to master it!

ya i don't think i agree with this video getting off the gas even just a little in a turn is gonna make the bike stand up and run wide that used to be my biggest problem when i first start riding then i under stood throttle control better with a smooth roll on through the Conner if you get scared an chop or cut the throttle you will run wide .... ..

[planber]

dude your driving on the wrong side of the road

@sargares in some instances that may happen, but its physics- if you have a bike leant over at a constant angle with consistent body position then to hold the line (balance the weight) you have to apply the throttle. If the motion balancing the leaned weight is reduced the the bike will fall more (gravity) tightening the corner.

Think about the racers when they finish a race and sit up mid corner waving their hands in the air the bike does not go straight ahead and crash.....

Wut? Close throttle to tighten corner? engine braking doesnt exist now? dunno about everyone else but when i reduce throttle the engine braking pulls me upright and i run wide....

Unless your at about 4krpm in 6th......

THORTTLE...

WRONG!

[chromerium]

@potatomasher100 throttle down before you reach the corner, then as you say, keep the throttle constant and progressively increase throttle once you hit the apex. Works well for me.

[chromerium]

@dave8204 gentle braking in a corner is fine; I think what most people are talking about is grabbing a fistful of front brake while halfway around a bend at speed.

This video is useless. covers maybe 1% of all factors to be taken in when cornering at high speeds.

Watch twist of the wrist DVD, or read the books by keith code. Youll be glad you did.
