fq-craigus Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Clutch control, revs and dragging rear brake for very slow straight speed and for turning at slow speed lean the opposite way to what your turning to keep center of gravity Quote
Bonniebird Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I agree, it is about technique not weight or strength.I have a Triumph Bonneville which is over 200kg and a lowered Speed Four which is under 170kg and don't really notice a significant difference between them except if leaning them against one leg when stopped. I'm 50, 5'4" (and a bit) and not especially strong. (Not that light though. Lol) Quote
HondaHero Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 And if anyone is worried about picking up a dropped bike, meet my friend Skert. A lady who can pick up 1200cc from the ground ON HER OWN ;p and no she does not body build. LINKS [sorry for crappy vids its all she has] http://www.pinkribbonrides.com/dropped.html < she has videos on her site for how to pick up a dropped bike <3 Sure, but she might be from Yorkshire, or from the countryside in any case. Urbanites are weak. There are women in their 60s who are a lot stronger than most men in my town. Quote
NeilM Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Trying to work out if the above is an insult towards the Peoples Republic of Yorkshire? Mmm thoughts please. ..lol Quote
Stu Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Sure, but she might be from Yorkshire, or from the countryside in any case. Urbanites are weak. There are women in their 60s who are a lot stronger than most men in my town. thats like saying all honda riders are nobs Quote
