lol i have the same problem but i find its just because i naturally countersteer less than on a left hander.

can't say its the faer of on comming traffic for me, I used to hoon down the hill with my bike on my side of the road and my head on the other side. Dad advised me that this wasn't the smartest.

might be there, hopefully i can get some work done on the bike soon.

EDIT: welcome to KB by the way knee_scraper, see ya round!

Yeah, I prefer left handers too. They just feel more comfortable. I find it easier to lean. You might have a point there Jim2.

Welcome knee_scraper. Hope to see you on Sunday

Is anyone else going on this ride from Kapiti? Do you want to meet somewhere in Kapiti and then ride (at FXR speed) as a group over Paekak' Hill, Haywards and up to Caltex Rimutaka? Could someone who's done this wee trip before suggest a start time to get there by 11am?

**phoenixgtr** · 26th January 2006, 11:47

I'm looking forward to riding with another FXR. I'll be able to see if it's partly my fault that its so slow

Starting time on an FXR from Kapiti? About 8am should do it

Why do that ? they're just going to have to wait a 1/2 hour at the other end !!!!!!!!! G.

Jim...are you going to be the senior that assess the corning skills?

**James Deuce** · 27th January 2006, 14:37

I'm certainly senior.

Are about to say that's a bad idea because I suck?

Not at all...I was more trying to imply that you were old

**Wasp** · 27th January 2006, 17:52

That's alright then. That's just a statement of fact.

Wasp - I've heaps of ideas about coping with unfamiliar roads if you want some help.
