If you can feel Tarmac through your clothes and the scenery is going Sky/Ground/Sky/Ground/Sky/Ground - then you are doing it wrong.
Other than that, just keep practicing...

The very worst thing you can do is start adjusting your position once you've started the corner, you'll just cock-up the trim.
If you're going to lean, think of it as like peering round the side of the handlebars, no gross movements. I'd just concentrate on nice, smooth, neutral cornering for now though.
You shouldn't really be putting any weight on the handlebars at all, they're for steering, not for holding onto. Your arse and legs are for taking your weight. I like to think of steering as pulling on one bar rather than pushing on the other one. You probably shouldn't be thinking of steering at all at this stage, just ride it.
Get all the braking done before the corner, approach on a nice wide outside line to maximise your visability, smooth application of power through the corner looking where you want to go. When you see the exit, feel free to nail it. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |
