I am more comfortable in lefts because NHMS is mostly lefts, and two of the major rights have huge pavement transitions/cracks.

The new NJ place is mostly rights so I should be able to even out...

How can you not see how his hips are? Look at his ass and the bike, they are exactly perpendicular, therefore his hips are square to the bike. The only difference is that he is leaning more than me...

Maybe we're all misunderstanding eachother but I still think this pivot around the tank thing is bullshit. Maybe just the way you guys are describing it is confusing me though...

Don't remind me that I was supposed to go down there and couldn't :panic:

Yeah that's a good point. I think it's good to know HOW late and hard you can brake though, so you can do it if necessary....

Apology accepted :lol:

Exactly.

Another thing to try is what an instructor told me called 'brottle' and 'thrake'... where you have a little bit of overlap when you transition from brakes to gas and vice-versa. It makes...

Another tip: this helped me a LOT after and instructor helped me with it.

Move your butt EARLY. I move before I even start braking. As I'm rolling off the throttle, I shift my butt over. Then I...

Short answer is yes, there is some warning, but that's only if you're riding correctly.

Kinda like trip said, it depends WHY you are losing traction.

If you're hanging off and your arms are...

Also, I find that you can do things with the bike/controls to...

I think we're on the same page here. Basically for a given lean angle, the bike will turn tighter with no bar pressure than if you are pressuring the handlebar... this is counterintuitive to the...
