[Rossi Sticking Out His Leg - Why?]

I noticed he (and other racers) only drop their leg when they are braking very late and they are making a VERY quick steer and when it happens its usually always the same corner on that particular track. Perhaps when riding over the limit maybe? Anyone else notice the same? Heck, I think even Spies was doing this at Kyalami.

I don't recall specifically, but have you read Twist 1? Been to any of our schools? Specificaly, have we really worked you over well on the Steering drill? That exercise is one of our best, not even done on the track, and requires a sharp coach to get and see all the different pieces. Coach has to have a little pit bull in him/her too

 

I was fortunate enough to attend a 2-day camp at Streets of Willow and I must vouch for the steering drill. My coach, who was actually from the Oz SBK school, gave me some very informative advice and i wish i could go back for Levels 3 and 4!

[Differences In Steering Dampers]

I've used rotary style dampers for years and never had a problem. Many of my bikes went ass over end, and not once did the damper get damaged. My painter loves me though

 

Thanks. I might consider the GPR but I must admit the top-mount Hyperpro does look a bit trick. Either way, they are all about the same price.

[Differences In Steering Dampers]

I would like to know what the differences between the top-mount (ohlins,hyperpro,etc.) and the rotary type (GPR,Scotts,etc.) are and which one would be a better choice. One of my thoughts on the top-mount was that it might be more prone to damage in the case of a crash. I really liked the way the GPR damper felt while riding the schools bike but am just curious about my options. Any feedback/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Hello From Oceanside!]

Hey everyone, I recently attended the 2-day school a few weeks ago (June 5-6). It was definitely a very exciting experience and the instructors were very informative with their coaching. My riding has completely changed and I am starting to realize that I don't want to ride on the streets anymore, so I am planning on converting my street bike for the track. I will surely be on these boards alot now asking questions about suspension setup and riding technique. Thanks!
