riding a rieju rs2 125. knee down first time on the bike.

[scartledge]

so basically this is my friends newish rieju rs2 125. he was kind enough to let me have a quick go (first time on any other bike than my cg!) and it just felt a hell of a lot more comfy on it's side.

kinda of a shame that the end of the video is cut on this but i'd love tips on my riding style. i get off the bike and i've got cramp in my hips for about 3 hours after. any ideas?

Enjoy.

PS. The roundabout was totally empty bar perhaps 2 vehicles in the hour or so we were there.

not bad, it does seem that you're about as far off the bike as humanly possible though, bike seems like it'll do that comfortably with you sat upright on it.

hang your top half off mor and bottom less, idealy you left forearm should be rested on the tank.

i didn't say you could get your knee down sitting upright, my comment is to the fact that you're hanging off the bike so far when the bike will go round that roundabout without you leaning off like a muppet

not my ideal, just the way it is, you will find if you even yourself out by moving ass in head/shoulder's out so you torso is pretty much parralel with the bike it will feel a lot more comfortable and should still be getting KD st roughly the same angle.

Im no expert, just sayin how i see it
