I found it can help with the Harley if Im a bit to hot going round a roundabout or tight bend, but with most other bikes I think it may end in a not so good way
I actually can't remember ever pushing down?, but I did get the bike quite low, I'm thinking I rode it light and didn't push down, what extra control would you have anyway? I can only remember flowing around corners like water down a bendy slide.
There's also the idea of "Countersteering" to be taken into account. Apparently, we all do this to an extent, subconciously or otherwise. Does this involve the footrests, or is imput solely through the handlebars?
Never managed to pop it up, but would love to learn that one. One friend always does endo's, but so funny when he pops it too far and then needs help to pick his bike up!!!!
Shouldn't laugh,but he laughs about it :D
I use to ping my pegs, so I knew I was well over with the flow. So I guess Stuie you're saying yes to pressure on your pegs. Uumm Thanks for adding a comment, giving me food for thought.
Turn it on on the front brake Heavey counter steer still on front brake ,feed in the throttle in a low gear, heavey on inside peg and hang the arse end out, when it goes too far or you want to stand it up heavey pressure on out side peg and ease off front brake very gently. 8-D
Sorry officer the voices made me do it
PS doing it at slow speeds or not being gentle enough will result in a high side !
My cornering technique;
Reach bend and stop.
Dismount.
Pull back of motorcycle around until the machine is facing in the desired direction.
Remount.
Ride forward to next bend/corner and repeat.
Haven't fallen off once.
Have never knowingly put pressure through the pegs but a bit of pressure to the "inside" bar tightens your line. If in doubt listen to Stuie (cos he does real road miles) not Rossi (who doesn't)
SG - I don't think Pennycoin was referring to Jonathan Rossi, the well-known, self-satisfied, pretentious south-eastern pain in the backside of TV infame. Still, you could ask.
after our talk about this i have been paying more an more attention to which i do an i put no pressure on the pegs at all when leaning into or outta corners but as was stated s'pose its a personal thing
