  3. Bump In A Turn

    in Cornering and Techniques

    Posted

    sounds like you did everything right, 'cept the "entire body stiff" part. if you relax and let your body move in phase with the bike, or even use your legs as part of the suspension of the bike, it will help keep things more stable.

    Can you be more specific about using legs as part of the suspension? I didn't know I could do that... asa far as I understand when i'm hung-off, most of my weight is already on the pegs (more on the inside one) and i'm also partially "hooking" onto the bike with my outside leg (with knee as a "hook")... how can I help the suspension with this setup?

  4. Hanging Off And Body Positioning

    Hello,

     

    I'm just wondering it the correct technique of hanging off is being taught at 2-day camps (that would be my first CSS class - so, i think, i won't move past Level 2)? i tried to learn hanging off myself (from the MotoGP videos, from reading Keith's books and from looking at photos), but i'd like to get a more "fundamental knowledge" of how this should be done correctly. Is it possible?

    Hi,

     

    i've recently encountered a strange situation that i'm not sure i can handle correctly. In a nice CR turn (a U-turn beneath the highway bridge, not too tight), right in the middle of the curve, i noticed a bump that was unavoidable... i was already leaned into a turn and hung-off, it was too late to straighten the bike... :( Fortuntately, i did not crash, but both wheels were very muc unloaded and i almost lost control of the bike... I don't really know how i handled it - the only thing I remember was that I blocked SR#1 (thanks much to Keith's ToW II), hold the throttle where it was at the moment of going thru the bump and tried to "hold on" (with my entire body stiff)...

     

    Any advise on how to handle similar "obstacles" in mid-turn would be highly appreciated... thanks much in advance!

  6. Counter Steering, Hanging Off.

    In a word, yes.

     

    Especially if the shoulder pointing is being done to such a degree that it is causing the rider problems with controlling the bike. Of course I'm only speculating that this is 148bhp's problem.

     

    By the way, what does "bosy" mean? Body?

    Yes, it means "body"... sorry about the typo...

     

    And thanks for clarification - up until now i was 100% sure that this "shoulder pointing" was absolutely the right thing to do for proper body positioning and as much important as looking at the exit of the turn... now i will have to totally change it :(((((((((((((((((((((((
