Hi all
New to the forum.. thought I'd see what people think of this little incident I had today.
Riding to Piha today on my Royal Enfield Classic. Good dry weather. Took a corner a bit too fast for my liking, and leaned in tight, tighter than I normally do. I think what happened next is I rolled off the throttle, which on my bike can cause a bit of a jerk and is not always smooth. The rear started to fishtail and the rest was just reflex - I think what I did was put my feet out wide and pick the bike up, then applied a bit of throttle and things settled down.
I'm not the most experienced rider and I'm usually careful how I enter turns so I don't need to slow down around them, so fish tailing like I did today was not a common experience for me. Only time it's happened before is heavy breaking in wet weather.
Just wondering what more experienced riders think because it all happened so fast I'm not sure 100% about the sequence of events above, but appreciate your comments.
Cheers
