Front end slides

[slimjim]

my old lady and me have had a few of these, mostly in the wet and doing good speed yup front has popped out , but hit the gas, increase down load on froks, never brake, feet belong on pegs always , saves snapping an ankle:slap:

It's surprising how much the front tyre moves around when you're riding any way. One of my IOM dvds has a shot showing the frot end of an R6 going around the course, and the front wheel is constantly getting out of line etc.

My point is that you're automatically correcting for small movements from the front (and rear) end of your bike all the time. It's just the 'bigger' moments that you notice. It probably comes down to experience and practice. The more of both you have the less you think about how you do things.

I have only had once front slide that i managed to keep.... god knows how.

Any ways, my question is, I always get heaps and heaps of back end slides around the apex of a corner. I have never crashed from a slide (on road)

Why would i tend to get more rear slides than front??

'cos the power's going through the rear wheel, and the rear wheel is doing most of the cornering once lent over. I don't think front end slides ever happen when you're getting on the gas.
