I want to corner faster but how?

[SVboy]

Been busy stalking women on here!

Oooooooh Carver. This forum just took a turn for the better.

[mstriumph]

have resigned myself to never going as quick round corners as some others ... but they push their envelope further than I'm prepared to do - I accept that.

...I've resigned myself to not going out, anymore...there are too many corners out there...

He's under the thumb nowadays, it (being on here) wont last.

Good on you for not wanting to feel under pressure to keep up. You will likely live longer than those who do.

...but look who we have to share it with us...cool eh....

Oh so right! Who'd want to ride with a crasher?

I learnt the hard way, with wet tar bleed, I never knew about it before it happened.
no one had mentioned it in the group i ride with.
I found later that my riding is my responsibility, no one else.
yes people can say you can go faster, but it's up to the individual to decide.
obviously there is more training both on the road/track/off-road.
i would like to ride with more confidence first, and then speed will come (I am slow).
If you are riding with the right people they will understand.

if you ride in a group and you have an accident you will be surprised the reaction you will get.

i find its about the ride, the smells, the feeling and the sensations i get when I ride. Not about beating some speed record, I will save that for the track, when I get there.

your ride your responsibility - ATGATT

[Kendoll]

I'm going with the general consensus here, ride your own ride, at your own pace, stuff what the signs say or others around you. You'll naturally find your own 'comfy' speed zone, whether it be slow or fast, as long as you're on two wheels you're doing it right

Also, I had a street triple for 3 years, they are epic bikes and trust me, very hard to stuff up on Good luck and enjoy!

[JimmyC]

I was listening to a North American adventure riding podcast a couple of years back and they had a guest speaker on who'd ridden around the world multiple times over many decades. At the end of the podcast he was asked for the single biggest piece of advice he would give to other riders -

Make sure you can stop in the distance you can see in front of you.

I haven't read the whole thread so not sure if that gem has been mentioned here already, but it's something I live (being the operative word) by.

My mate did - in the Waioeka Gorge - they loaded both pieces of the bike onto a ute and he was in hospital for days, off work for months and has only been back on a bike this year - seven months later

(He bought another speed triple ...)

[Banditbandit]

I assume he was able to workout what went wrong and it did not happen to be the bike.

Yeah .. he knew the back tyre needed replacing but he didn't ... went into a corner too hot and lost it big time ...

He fucked up ...

Yup, comes from the Police handbook. Been my mantra for decades. Can't say I do it a 100% of the time but i enjoy my riding more if I'm focused on how fast I can stop in a blind corner rather than how fast I can go.
If other riders pull away from me then so be it.
Probably why I usually opt to go last when in company.
