Default Re: so close to loosing it

I usually do hang off alot more but with the pillion on the back it is harder to shift the weight about.

I think I stood the bike up as aposed to tightening up the turn as I was through the apex. but it all happened so fast and I didnt do anything conciously.

She got her toe down because her heel was on the peg, not her toe like mine was. She was just very excited that she got her toe down lol. Its hard to ride slower espically when she keeps telling me she wants to go fast. But I think you lot are right, ive got to calm and keep us alive. LW - I know, I would be so deverstated if that happened, and I know you are right, but its hard sometimes to be restrained.

But the irony of it was that the corner felt like the best corner ive ever taken, it was just so smooth and everything felt in harmony, I guess thats why it went so far over!

Ive never done a track day and I think I should asap and get a track bike, but funds are tight. my bike has 0mm chicken strips on the front and about 0.5mm on the rear

maybe I will limit myself abit now when riding 2 up. I hope I didnt come accross as cocky or anything like that, I dont ride that fast when there is trafic around.
