    cornering.

    Allow me to explain my somewhat transparent statement... Everything is governed from positioning. Your line, safe entry speed, vision, braking, traction etc. Bad positioning = compromises and sacrifices elsewhere. The way I see it, if you want to improve your cornering, the first thing you need to be aware of is what X position means you have to do as a result and why Z position may be better, giving you more speed, braking, vision, traction etc. One can discuss the use of smaller details, but why you have to brake harder or why you can't steer tighter, etc all stems from the main thing (IMO). As for the wet vs dry thing, yes, we all adjust our speed and braking distances blah blah blah but the principles are always the same; vision, traction etc. You still need to take fast corners with a tyre that's been rolling for a while to generate some kind of heat on the rubber. You still need to ride where the best traction is and you still need to be in a position that gives you the most vision and ability to react... that's what I meant. Not ride as fast as you do when it's dry. been trying to get on one of your lmrc rides but scheduling is a bitch tyres are standard cb500f fit Dunlop D222

    cornering.

    ok been riding a proper bike for a month, nearly 2. only raked up 1500ish miles and i have a problem and i think its my brain not my bike. this week i have been riding the bike in to work as the weather has been ok. the road is damp and i ride a twisty ish road to work. now when its dry and light i can wiz around the corners and my home trip takes 40-45 minutes if its clear. now i feel that in the dark and damp i ride slower (good thing) but i slow down more near corners as i slow before entry and accelerate through and out of the corner depending on its tightness. to the point that I have had car drivers over take me in a hurry in a 50 when i am doing 45-50 on the straight bits. Admittedly, i do seem to drive a lot faster when im in the car on these roads. but some of the bends i do seem to be resisting the lean, although i am doing 35-40 around most of the corners any advise or am i just being a pillock. I think im worried about the bike sliding out from under me, experience related?
  16. you gave them a proper fisting then?
  17. probably a good thing for some bikers you see on YOUTUBE
  18. My mum was like this god bless her soul....she left us 4 years ago for the great unknown....
  19. Haha I parked the 125 intruder up next to the ninja when I got home today and did think to myself it looked huge! Doesn't feel big when you're riding it though makes no difference when your used to having something big between your legs
  20. To Dragons Den! I quite like the idea of this. Switch the 125 engine in for the week commute and then stick the 600 in for the weekend rides Best way to do this would be to make it shaft drive with gearbox and ancillaries as part of the initial purchase. then you could just unbolt engine and disconnect spark plugs. fuel and water connection could be push fit, would mean more regular service intervals. nice idea (looks for patent online)
  21. shame i could not make it but father was rushed into hospital (he lives in france) with suspected Heart attack..... According to doctors it was a very very mild one and he should be ok... I was sitting by the phone and would not have been much fun... so will defo come up next time soundslike a good night Hope your Dad makes a full recovery. the old bast*rd luckily survived and is doing good. he has 3 blocked arteries so he got lucky. the attack was a warning shot, so hopefully this will stop him from eating the crap he usually eats

    rough ride

    your own time costs you nothing! its when you are paying for someone else's time it becomes cheaper to buy a new bike well it does, think of the fun things you could be doing with that time, therefore there is a cost, albeit not a financial one. Basic economics, everything has a value/cost... its just how you measure it. SO when your not working your are basically saying you are worth nothing??? that true?
