cornering

[slo coach]

Good cornering skills are what motorcyclists strive to achieve.

They thrive on testing their skills on tight and twisty roads.

Correct,smooth cornering equates to a constant challenge,and when achieved,the satisfaction is momentary,bofore the hunt is on for the next corner,the next challenge and the next buzz of adrenalin.

Good cornering is akin to a motorcyclists NIRVANA.

True, to string a series of corners together perfectly is almost better than sex......

Ooowh how true it is!
I rode a Vulcan with poor ground clearance for years. The wife loved those days and till just recently didn't understand my wanting to change to a "sport bike" style. She now has a few good miles on back of the B12 and is starting to understand. She does admit to NOT liking the chican turns though

Since this is a 'safety' forum....I have to remind people to stay in ONE lane when in the twisties!
  I see a lot of riders who can get through a corner a lot faster than I can....except they're using both lanes.   That's not too healthy when you have oncoming traffic you might not be able to see around the bend.....


  Wish I had saved the picture I saw in a magazine.   A rider was well leaned over in a curve.   His tires were a foot or more into his lane, but his head was hanging at least a foot into the opposing lane.
  I remember this picture when I get tempted to use the portion of my lane near the centerline on real twisty roads.  I've got a big head, to boot!

I guess I've been married too long to the same woman... I have to settle for threading the corners together.
I just dream about what sex was like.
