Default Re: question on corning in wet

Sorry I thought this was talking about track riding. Are you asking about road riding.

Oh and riding safe within limits and to conditions isn't being a chicken ****.

Never had my knee down, dont feel the need and it doesn't stop me using all of my tyre to the edge!!! different styles I suppose as i dont trail my leg either when cornering. Still that's probably why gerry burgess has not phoned me.

Get some pilot road 3's, you can scrape pegs and everything even if it's pi55ing down on a diesel covered road.


*disclaimer* this only works for non chicken sh1ts.

If you want to get yer kd in the wet go for it it's not impossible, but without pics/video it didn't happen, and i hope you have fully comp insurance. You obviously don't live round here cos the roads are ****ty, and it would be bad enough trying it in the dry. Btw you posted this in the track racing section?
