My bike has boxer engine. They do (as 2 V-twins) cause great effect of stopping the bike when one roll of the gas. The owners of those bikes knows that rolling of the gas is equal to braking. Sometimes for me its quite difficult to get the exact entry speed - I mean, if I get the desired speed before the reaching the entry point , I would have to apply maintenance throttle, otherwise the bike will continue decreasing the speed.

I fully agree with you that open road is not a track. Thus on the roads I stay away from my persoanl limits, with an idea to avoid dangerous situations as well as to have enough reserve of traction to try to overcome by bad habits and SRs.

Thanks for encouraging and advises...

Thanks for input. I gave my book to a friend, obviously I should have mine copy to re-read from time to time. Carey, what you quote from Keith seems to me as solution. I should train my self to have this tricky balance in the blind curves. Still mentally for me is very difficult to add leaning angle (although all my logic says I have enough reserve) while keeping the throttle open. All is training.....

Hi all from a new member here. I just completed level 2 and have a question, perhaps simple for many of you. As you know in the real life roads offer various surprises. One of them is decreasing radius where you could be surprised from time to time. Lets presume that I have approched the turn with the relevant speed, identify your turning point, lean the bike looking already to fix the apex or follow the vanishing point, as soon as (I think) the steering was completed gently get on the gas to follow Rule No.1 Let imagine at that time I realize that vanishing point is coming closer to me., i.e the radius of the turn decreases and apex is still unknown. . From one side I have to keep with Rule No.1, but also I should make additional steering input in order to keep the line. What I have to do at this stage - should I keep only maintenance throttle (or "flat" throttle) until I lean some more the bike OR the Rule No 1 should be kept as musch as possible, i.e arrecspective my additional lean efforts I should roll on the gas smoothly ? Same situation may happen if during the turn I see for instance place with sand or grease or crack. That is typical case there I face SR - of corse in this case I tend to chop the gas, which is totally wrong. What is your pinion here ? Thanks everyone.
