  1. Hi Everybody. I taken ALL Levels I - IV, plus Level IV twice. My riding has improved greatly. Question about Fast Sweepers... I'm approaching a fast long sweeper coming from a short staight away, and I'm still accelerating. Do I close the throttle on corner entrance approaching (TP), or do I enter the corner power on?
  2. Thanks racer for the fast reply I have observed that the reason I move my body back a bit as the bike reaches desired lean angle is to brace myself as the bike finishes falling into turn, however I catch myself and move back into the turn... I think you are on to something - Let me summarize what you said: As I approach TP move with cheek off seat, move upper body (head, shoulder, centerline) into turn first, then at TP countersteer quickly into turn... crack open throttle at desired lean angle or ASAP. Keep body in position until turn is finished... after exit... Thus no movement back and forth. Also my body will naturally fall into the turn with the bike. Where as before I was moving my upper body into the turn at the same time I was countersteering... I will practice this as soon as it stops raining in LA... Thanks for you help!
  3. Hi Everybody. A few months back I took both level I and Level II at Street of Willow. I will be taking Levels III and IV next year. I had a great time and learned alot. My Instructor was Pete (very good instructor). I feel much more confident that I can turn the bike quickly at corner entrance. When practicing the exercises specifically the quick turn drill - Here is what happens to me as I turn bike into corner 1. As I approach the corner I move my cheek off seat 2. Lock outer leg into tank (less pressure on the bars) 3. Inside knee is ready to come out 4. Just before turn-in point I'm looking into the corner 5. At turn-in point I quickly countersteer into corner - elbows level (one motion that is it...) No more pressure on the bars... 6. As the bike starts to falls into the corner with my knee already out I move my upper body (head and shoulder) into the turn. 7. However as the bike reaches near desired lean angle I will just for a moment move my upper body back towards the tank, in essence slightly pushing the bike underneath me... 8. Once the bike has settled I will move the upper body back into the turn. 9. It seems that I don't let my body naturally fall into the corner completely with the bike. Note: It is more pronounced on Right hand turns, then Left hand turns. I seem to favor Left Hand turns more the Right. However I have been working alot to correct this. I'm 6" tall and weigh 200 lbs - Yamaha R1 - Stomp Pads on tank. Sata Rear Sets are adjusted for me. What can I do to correct this problem?
