Pete Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 You don't want track tuition Yammie.....you need to get road experience and help from advanced instructors. Road and track cornering are two different things....if you start applying track cornering to roads, you'll be in trouble. Like I said....road experience is what you need. Nothing fast or risky....forget about speed.....and work on being smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 They want your money Yammie. Riding round a flat, smooth track is not going to help you deal with traffic situations in the real world. Road training is what you need. It's early days, you need to develop slowly. The most important part is being safe....not fast cornering. If you don't feel confident on right handers, then slow down and get some experience in real world conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 This is the time of the year when bad things happen. They don't have to happen....but some people choose to put themselves at risk. Usually sportsbikes I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Beezkneez Posted June 13, 2004 Moderator Share Posted June 13, 2004 why not just go down the gears and drive thru the corner instead of dragging the clutch, covering the rear as you go :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
