As some peeps on ere may know I have transferred to the dark side of the force - V-TWINS . And yesterday on the way to football I made a schoolboy error of shifting down too many, dropping the clutch and braking fairly hard when over shooting a corner! (Very, Very noobish I know!) Absolutely shat a brick, but at the same time actually gained some confidence in what you can do with the back brake! The back end obviously came round and i was inline for the corner .
Note to self - BIG difference between il4 and v2 riding styles! |
