jsg(hope yar tried keeping yar bum on the seat in the twisties,lol) dig

Haha Dig

Thanks for the advice

I had to work twice as hard as I normally do, nothing was working for me...... luckily I've done the loop about 10 times so knew the roads......


Didn't help that those tyres had done 20km when I arrived at the Auckland meeting point and I had only ridden that bike for about 1 hour in my entire life and hadn't been for a ride for a month....... (excuses, excuses)

I took your advice and went for a ride an hour ago down a lovely road called Cheenic Dwive and found that I barely lost any speed by staying on the bike and the whole experience seemed smoother as I wasn't upsetting the bike by jumping around......

Regards,
JSG

Baaa pussy... if it takes you more than 40km to run in some tyres (to the edge)then you doing something wrong

See ya on the next one can't wait to see how you go when you get the hang of the bike. Was following you for a brief time and hopefully noticed you were trying to ride the cbr like the zzr and it was fecking up your lines..... this bike actually tips in so remember that

So what do I need to do differently??

So what do I need to do differently??

The cbr will actually tip in quite fast comparitivley. So instead of going really wide and then taking the corner quite upright. You can leave it a bit later nd get a tighter line. It will mean you can brake later and carry more speed in the corners ...

Oh and the bike will like it better.
