Got knee sliders with no scratches... its embarising : (

No worries, but let me guess, your one of the last of the late bracers?
You find you can charge into corners faster than anyone? You can get your
bike really low (just not the knee)?

 

crap - spelling...sorry.. corrected.."brakers" red faced now after my last
remark! anyway...

Guessing still... you are happiest when the front and rear are squirming
under brakes, you can turn in earlier than anyone? you can 'feel' the right
line, different ones each time but fast anyway, might prefer rights to lefts
or vice versa, shut off the throttle till near the exit then gas it hard
nearing the limit of the perfect grippy traction, can use up all the tyre
but still not get your knee down (yes -admitted to that one)?... if that's
the case then for either the reason of being the fastest among your mates,
or the one with the biggest safety buffer by far (or both), book yourself
into the superbike school - all 4 levels cost less than a Yoshi + PC3 and
you get to take these skills with you forever (which would likely be longer
than if you didn't).

Stay Upright have great courses on cornering and braking and even
better -roadcraft- finest instructors in their groups too... Wayne Clarke is
a legend in road racing!!! http://www.stayupright.com.au/dates.htm

Learn from their experiences on how to be the fastest on the track (which is
where it counts since a 5 year old can have the balls to charge a corner)
better yet, the buffer knowing you can change lines fast, turn in faster,
pick your reference points to be 'smooth', get the bike loaded up the right
way in a corner with the throttle, using the brakes to set corner speed
rather than numb your mind into feeling your running in hot, focus your eyes
on what's important, learn the maximum lean angle, and the right angle to
get the power on, sliding and having a ball.... just do it... you've
decided to be a 'fast' road rider already, you may as well learn it the
right way this time - why did you have your 3 year break I wonder?

There goes that theory that you never forget how to ride a bike.

Andy, I couldn't email you so here is what I was trying to send:

If you 'promise' to read them, I'll loan you the Keith Code "Twist of the
Wrist 2" and Keith Codes "Soft Science of Road Racing" books... these are
bloody long but each page gives you a revelation in riding, this is what the
superbike schools teach.

Thing is, its study, its not a light reading book.... are you interested?

Oh everyone rides faster than I do, that's well known.

So doesn't absolve you from the wanker tag.

I was going to get some sliders, but couldn't figure out how to attach them
to my jeans.
I think Zebee got it right, you are a wanker.
Isn't it embarrassing when you can can't spell embarrassing?

Theo

 

I read Nev's contribution as "**** off idiot".

Theo

 

If he really wants to read them, let him buy his own. It's the fair thing to
do for the author.

Theo

 

Kinda true Theo, but I figured he wouldn't, its about the only thing that
could stop him from annoying some ambo drivers, cops and coroner some day,
or worse, some holidaying family or so. Libraries loan them out.

Just in case Andy: http://www.superbikeschool.com.au/merchandise.html buy
TOTW 2, $50 is cheap for what it does.

 

Elbow be buggered, I got my collarbone down!

-----sharks

 

I kinda got that impression from a few of you... like you all do the speed
limiit?????

Andy.

 

Nah I don't charge in to the corners to fast.. well sometime I do if im
hammering it a bit. When I turn in I hold the throttle open, and wind it on
through, and out of the corner. Think that's what your supposed to do?... if
im wrong pls tell me.

Done some advanced riding courses.. maybe need to do some race school ones.

The 3 year break.. I had to sell my CBR600 to cover other expenses. Got sick
and couldn't work for a few years, hence no bike for so long : (

So you're a gun rider... you know all the proper cornering techniques
but you don't even know how to get your knee down. Bang.

Good excuse for a decent ride then, hey ?
