Tell me Justin, what type of grip do you keep on the grips? Do you ride with a "death grip" or are your hands nice and lose/open? I ride with my throttle hand open; thumb and index finger working the throttle and my next two fingers laying across the top of the brake handle. Same for the clutch side. This grip relaxes your entire upper body.
Ruttly is 100% correct about looking down the road and not AT the road. Moving your head in the direction of the turn centers you body over the bike and helps to stabilize the bike through a turn. Don't sit ridged on the bike, move with it.
Enjoy the book(s).
Anyone who posts something to me and I act like I didn't see it, I didn't See IT!
Great , Total Control, check,, and thanks.
Twist talks about head, eyes, entering a turn.
Get body set ahead of the turn, pick where you will turn, get speed adjusted, look at where you want to be later Just before you actually turn.
I'm seeing the outside chikkinstrip titties are missing in places on the front.
Absolutely stuffed the left peg today. It wasn't that slow pressure and slight scraping sound, lurched the bike,
I measured 4.325" I'm sure the suspension traveled.
If that zilch looking area is from the dust wipers,then that's the travel.
