Well I agree, it depends.
This weekend I've been experimenting with leaning in, hanging off, sitting still etc and all it affects is how upright the bike corners (or so it seems to me) I would like to think my riding style is 'safe and considered' rather than 'knee down / hanging off / leaning in / etc. I'm sure someone else will be along to correct me shortly. |

Yea sounds like a loser.... if you see his bike again DEFFO get some pics of his 2 inch chicken strips so we can all have a laugh!!!
![]() Anyway to answer your question, I move my bum (cant use the other word??) about so i feel more comfortable when im going for it, but i dont go for knee down, toes is better ![]() I think im resonable in corners, i kept up with some ferrari the other day round a few bendies, after a few miles he pulled up and said "fast car no?"... i should have informed him i was on a budget 70BHP bike... ha ha, I actually said "its not bad" then left. So i guess what i mean by this is that knee down and all that dont mean fast ![]() |

i would of gone with EWOK lol,
as for numpty man, he was just being a n*b plainly, i saw him poking around my bike after he pulled up, didnt get a look at his chicken strips tho.. i was quite content in the knowledge that he is probably completly under the thumb, hates his job, only got the bike because his other mates (who were sound as..) has them... but will probably sell it when he has his first head shake any way after washing his Y front pants ![]() ![]() |

I stay pretty central on the bike, and dont really move around under normal conditions. But when the pace hots up, or I'm just trying to keep up, then i shift my body weight to the inside of the corner - not alot, probaly not visible to anyone, but enough to put weight on the inside peg a bit more and to allow myself to lever the bike over. I'll also hang the top half of my body out a bit, helping the bike round turns.
The R1 guy is a ****, BTW, and probably knows not alot. I bet he can't ride slow, fast.... I wonder what he'd make of my bike, 33bhp, topbox, handlebar muffs... Matt Last edited by Alpinestarhero; 10-09-07 at 06:30 PM. |

PUPPY! I've been thinking that was a wet cat for ages
![]() My riding style is a bit random really. I try to experiment with different things I've read about whenever I go out. Today I've been going sideways ![]() |
