Hello all,
Just wandered across this forum by reading another forum discussing the fears of cornering and one guy said, "reading Twist of the Wrist II" is a must. So I looked it up ad found this forum as well.
Here's my story. Started riding last summer, taking the basic motorcycle safety course to get my license. Then got a ninja 250 which my gf spen more time riding than me as I was working. In about a month, we got ooh deals on 2x triumph D675 and got them and sold the ninja. 1 month later I was still breaking in he last bit of the engine and I offed in a slow corner keeping the rpm's too low. Extremely humbling experience especially when I had to go pick up the bike from one of the guys who took liberties to patronize me in front of my gf.
However, to this day I haven't been able to even lean within reason as I am absolutely terrified. Found this forum and although it is really applied in the track scenario, I am interested in honing my overall riding skills, improve confidence, and perhaps invest in riding school in the near future.
