[More "quizzes" From Riding Coaches]

"quizzes" - where r the quizzes?

 

I read a reply in the "bands of traction" thread that in level 4, you fill out a questionaire in order to customize tutoring to strengthen your riding weaknesses. I was hoping to find something here that resembled that questionaire.

 

I am about to begin my schooling (lvls1-4) in december and preparation of not just my bike, but my self mentally is my top priority at the moment. I think a questionaire similar to the one I read about would be ideal for getting into the right headspace.

 

Is it something that is able to be posted? Or should I just hang on untill natural progression has me filling out the questionaire on the morning of level 4?

 

thanx cornering crew

Appanna: I couldn't agree more with bellevuetlr

 

when your tires are squirming... ex... mid corner you add throttle and your rear slipped or your front wants to tuck... that is the limit. you have body position to give you more clearance at a certain speed... but once youve reached that limit, theres really nothing else you can do but be smooth. no reason to do this on in a trackday..

 

Nicely put! And it took me 3 occasions to understand this!

 

Like the above example, I gassed it post apex, no throttle control, while still at considerable lean exiting the corners ... yes the back slipped out but far from a controlled slide . I was lucky the first 2 times (htf?), the 3rd is for another thread .

 

I can only say, without proper coaching / tuition, searching for these limits is stacking the odds heavily against you bro staying rubberside down - Like bellevuetlr says, "no reason to do this on a trackday.."

 

My $0.02, find the limits of your setup through the school rather than the limits of your pockets through silly avoidable mistakes like mine.

RonniB, Sorry about that m8 - good topic though!

Im for the idea! Here's why:

1. I see a good, user friendly and up-to-date reference point comming out of this.
   
2. Manufacturer websites I've tried, don't seem to list optimum temps, pressures and tyre feedback regarding track use. I've had to rely on magazine reviews and rider experience from other formus.
   
3. and Im booked in to do the schooling. So I think having central location, like this forum, is good for people like me exploring set up options in preparation.
