Exiting A Corner

[Guest 148bhp]

When exiting a corner still leaned over, can I just roll on the throttle or should I get the bike upright first?

Picking up some throttle helps straightening the bike out.

You would already be carrying a small amount of throttle mid corner to balance the bike's suspension - this is explained brilliantly in Keith's book A Twist of the Wrist 2 - for the exit you are gradually picking the bike up and at the same time gradually increasing the throttle to match the rear tire's increasing contact patch

Hi Guys,

 

In Level 2 we teach the Pick Up Drill. This gets more acceleration out of the turn on the exit. It's a way of decreasing your lean angle whilst applying more throttle without running wide. It's cool as polar bear piss.

 

Enjoy your riding
