I agree with the surface issue. There are ruts running in line with the road which kept kicking my wheels to the side. Feels weird, esp with gravel in the centre of the road. Like riding on marbles!

Default Re: Lost confidence cornering

Funnily enough, I've crashed just at the peak of my confidence, I was riding really good, knee hovering on roundabouts, I pick a bad apex on a corner and end up on the otherside of the road, of course, let off the throttle, brake and can't turn in time, scrape the back of a car on the other side of the road. I ride that road every day as well, usually in the dark at the same speeds as I was doing that day. Since then, well, bike has mainly been ill (all that happened in the scrape was a crack in the fairing), but I got back on, rode home, still complete loss of confidence. Will be fine!
