Well, I’m tying to follow this wiseman’s words, “remember, practice doesn’t make perfect, it makes permanent. Learn to do it right early”.

So, I’m not sure if my new habit of rotating (not too much) around the gas tank is correct or not.
I started to swivel instead of moving to side because this swiveling allow me to hold my weight firmly without putting pressures on clip-ons. (I don’t stick my knee out).

Am I going to have hard time adjusting when I have some track experience later? It seems all trackers hang to the side, and for few who rotate, they don’t look cool.



Not my picture, (my head's position is more to the inside)

what weight transition to the corner you get when rotating and not moving to side?
to me it's none and it doesn't help you turn the bike at safe and cntrollable way?
or did i understand you wrong? do you have pics to show?

 

the correct way is to move side to side using your legs. Your feet should be on the ***** of your feet on the pegs, toes slightly pointed outward, this will make your knee stick out (w/o leathers n pucks tho be careful, ie slow down), act like you're trying to kiss the mirror with your head, your armpit should be over the gas filler.

 

I like how you descibed that.

good link onarom... will be useful!

getting your body mass out of the line of the bike on the inside reduces the lean on the bike itself or gives you more cornering speed.
and getting it lower lowers your center of gravity, again giving you better control and faster speed in the turn.

The only way to do both is hang off

Question. I've been trying Playfuls tech, he posted it in another post a while back, and I feel like I am cornering better. But sometimes I feel like the tires are going to slip out right under me, like I will lowside, is this a normal feeling?

 

Nauree: Bicyclists like to put their weight on the outside pedal because it helps keep the bike on the line. So if you hit a bump, then the weight on the outside might keep the wheels from skipping out from under you (result: lowside).

I've heard the same basic idea applies to motorcycles too. Keep your weight on the outside footpeg

 

I made another good post??? wow lol

 

so, rotating isuseless? I thought hanging off draws too much attention on the street.

 

well hangin way off thru town will and is uneeded there lol.
