Ok so I have been practicing riding with some newly learned techniques. I can tell you I am sooo much faster doing things properly than just trying to imitate other riders. However, Even being so much faster I still cant get rid of my damn chicken strips. Probably half an inch each side of a 190 rear. Do I just need to keep practicing? I am really starting to feel much more comfortable in turns now but I would like to be able to use all of the tire. Any suggestion?

 

i wouldn't worry so much about the strips...just concentrate on positioning and being smooth and fast. that should be your main concern, not getting rid of the strips.

with proper body positioning, great lines and technique, a rider can go much faster and still have 1/2" strips than someone using all of the tire.

 

What Tahoe siad...

You are doing this on the track, right? If not get there, and take a track-day or race school. You will learn soooooo much quicker and will be learning the correct things by having the instructor watching you and telling you what to work on.

 

If your getting your knee down all you have to do is add more lean as you get more confident it'll come naturally any how--buy keith codes twist of the wrist series of books and definately do track daze its soooooooo much fun--dont push too hard too soon.

 

you must have coffee to read keith code's books...so get coffee too!

 

im beginning to think some of you guys are on that keith codes guys payroll

 

Keiths Codes books are good, but I liked the book "sport riding techniques" by Nick Ianasomething

http://www.amazon.com/Sport-Riding-T...326408-8553564

It geared a little more to street riding ratherthan just track instructions

Yea it's a great book......I "might" happen to have a .pdf of "sport riding techniques". If anybody were to ask...........

 

thanks guys I'm still working on them and have had some success so far. I actually have the Sport riding techniques as well as "total control." Both have helped a lot but I'm still working on them. As well as picking up twist of the wrist 1 &2
