R1200S Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Keith: I've been through level 4 with you. I'm mad at myself and am not sure how to correct my problem. At level 4, Laguna turn 2, I missed my turn point and ran into the gravel. Since returning from school it has happened twice more. I don't feel like I have any fear, but something happens and I think "I can't make the corner" and I stand up the bike and hit the brakes and run off the track (Road). Trackless in Hawaii. Why can't I make myself make the turn, I know the bike can? R1200S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it too high? Were the roads new roads, are you pushing yourself a bit on unknown roads? Or if known roads, back to entry speed for amoment. I have found riders work on going faster, and think that 2-3 mph faster is nothing. A top rider, if already in the speed zone that kept him interested, would maybe have 6-8 grades in there, between the totally fine, compfortable pace, and going to fast. We have often seen this at the track. Is this in the area for you? Best, Cobie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
