Riding Techniques

[Jocko]

Hey guys, a section dedicated to members discussing riding techniques would be very cool. Experienced sportbike riders could discuss their skills and help the begginers or those looking for pointers for either on the track or street riding.

It's one of the things I noticed from this great site that was lacking... lets face it, this site is dedicated to one of the best handling bikes in the world, we should have a section that is dedicated to that.

Any thoughts?

I requested a sticky on the topic in the "off topic" page of the forum, but nobody ever really noticed it.

I just read the thread about the young man who lost his life doing something he loved. It was a sobering moment.

It made me think of a book that I read regarding Street Sportbike Riding. The one key take away for me was so many people are good about rolling there wrist and going to 100 mph as quick as possible, yet they don't think about going from 100 to 0 in as quick a time. The key thing he discusses is that he builds stoping practice in the first part of every ride. If you are going to ride to 120 m.p.h you sure better make sure you can stop from there.

read the artical of "The Pace" which I posted...its a great read and so logical, yet unfortunately, rarely practiced.
