...you guys crack me up!
Read the first bloody post, for God's sake! It is a skill, a technique, just another trick you SHOULD have in your kitbag. Some of you do it without thinking about it, some of you follow a rote formula....brakes on, slowing, brakes off, initiate turn-in, hit apex, begin acceleration, exit turn........ which is fine on trackdays and the twisties...... BUT....usually I gotta put a lot of miles on to do either.... this is a technique for day-to-day riding when I'm not WFO, to smooth out my arc through less-than-smooth bends at less than max speeds. Like the freeway, the roads leading to the freeway, ect. Depending on the bike, when I'm droning down the road from point A to B, I rest my throttle-hand index finger on the throttle housing; I can then use the support to fine-tune both my speed and arc through turns without making gross changes.....the name of the game is SMOOOOTH....... Remember, it's just another little technique to throw in your repertoire. |
