Cassina - advice

[Banditbandit]

If you read my post again I said I do it if I slightly overcook a corner which is not all the time. Holy fuck yourself just go and try it (at your own risk) by overcooking a corner and applying slight front brake pressure to see if you tighten your line and not fall off which you sound like you would most likely do due to your doubt and if so "just dont do it". Maybe what works for me could also be bike specific which would explain why you can not comprehend but then it works for the author of the article too. Maybe you need to get a riding school with the special skill necessary to teach you as you did say you maybe have been going to the wrong riding school did you not?

Cassina's article is mainly for track use. Tracks are normally grippy and clean, the average country road corner may or may not be clean, it may or may not have good grip. Turning in under hard braking could be a big let down.

Yes - and it is bike-dependent.

On my old Honda in a corner when I was too hot I would tap the front brake ... this was not to tighten the line, but to slow down ... remember a wide swooping corner is faster than a tight corner - but on the road a misjudged wide swooping corner can often take you off the road ... tapping the front brake in a corner is risky - too hard and the bike stands up ..

Then I would use counter steering to push down the front - and get round the corner. I suspect Cassina is missing out the counter-steering - may well be doing it automatically.

My 650 bandit - the one I throw around - does not need this - the throttle response is so good I balance on the throttle and use counter steering - Then as I come out the corner I really open the throttle to stand up the bike ..

This is racer Nail McKenzie on cornering ...

"On a superbike I would tend to brake deeper into the corner while keeping it in a straight line, go past the point I would normally turn in but get it slowed down more so that when I start to turn and get off the brakes it comes back across for quite a late apex.

Make of it what you will ..

Over the years on here there has been a lot of debate about cornering and even those that oppose my view often will not agree among themselves either. If in doubt go to riding school, its just they won't teach my way or the way stated in the link I have posted which does sound like my way.

And what exactly is "your way" ? I don't recall ever having seen you articulate it clearly,
despite having been challenged to do so on frequent occasion. Perhaps you'd like to take
the opportunity to refresh our memory ?

Why?

So the circle jerk club can have their next group orgasm?

Are you feeling left out? Performance anxiety maybe?

Do you use counter steering?

i steer clear of any counter thanks...

...I use an abacus...and I used to use pie but now that I am diabetic I have to avoid them...like I do dogs on the road...I'm not allowed hot dogs either...I miss the good old kiwi hotdog when I'm at the track and the fund raisers at Bunnings look at me odd when they ask if I want onions with my sausage and I say yes please, lots, but no sausage thanks...there are far worse things in life than wiggling around a corner the wrong way...I prefer to just 'whizz' around them with my eyes closed and hope for the best...

The point of all this garble, and it is, don't believe everything you read and it isn't valid unless you quote it. However said person with a name starting with C is one better, unlike us can do things we can't, like kiss my arse, but he can.
But that is all not bad there is a positive to that. If you have sunburnt lips cassindra, it will stop you licking them." Granstar".

A lot of opinion here, hadn't you better start quoting?
