Advance training?

I've never scraped anything when cornering pegs knee etc although I did have a Harley footboard scrape slightly on a test ride woo.

I take it the faster you take the same corner the lower the bike will go, is that about right?

What's cornering pie ?

Just read a chapter about slides front and rear. I would never have thought to open the throttle if the front end starts to tuck!

Well yeah that is true but we're not talking ground clearance here.

You have a pie. Every load you put on the tyre takes a slice. When there is no more pie left then the tyre slides.

Basically it's a bit of a weird way of saying if you are cornering you can't brake as hard because there is less grip. To you or me it would probably be better described by a diagram of the reaction force at lean angle and the effect that will have... but anyway.

Yeah don't tw*t the brakes on while cornering or you'll fall off. Pie.

I just finished a chapter about steering! mental, i now understand how bikes wheelie out of corners while still turning. I've also identified myself as a lazy turner, this has turned out to be quite a productive hangover.

Well me and the wife went for an IAM assesment today at Orwells. My riding standard is very good, just need to work on positioning during cornering. Will more than likely go down the IAM route.
