New thread : Sliding the rear

[jade]

Its nice to see the broad spectrum of answers, I browse alot but I dont post often, I must admit - sometimes when I post I aim to arouse controversy,
Ive been to the track, But my domain is road riding, and im fairly aware that the road is not a playground - but anyone who rides road as much as me - knows about those familiar corners, with good visibility and noone around..
when I go out on my bike, it is my intention to learn something new and take every corner better than the last - to better my abilities every time in all situations
In my opionion, sliding the rear is the most blatant display of complete control there is, once again Ive experimented slowly and like I said ive only actually had spinning 3 times, even tho im constantly trying - generally from
5-60 km/h
I dont have engine braking on my bike so cant slide into a corner but fortunately my powerband is something chronic for coming out, but once again - its amazing how much throttle you need to give to send it..
god bless the wet

Boomer im curious - is 'Jay' the local racer I read about in magazines ?

sorry about the scattered post - been at the pub,
to end - I try to be sensible on the road, people like two smoker - I know where you are coming from and smart enough to know your opinion counts,
the road is not a playground, I just want to find the limits of my bike before I move up - I want to be good.
p.s - I recently read a casey stoner interview where he said that his motocross history helped him in motogp because of his ability to control a sliding bike, and that it was an advantage in braking and when the tyres were gone - weve all seen racers sliding both front and rear - be it in tyre controlled supersports, braking in motogp - or the loose wildcard at paeroa..
I just want to learn how to deal with it when it happens.

either Im genuinely sincere about my motorcycle, and gaining riding abilities
or im gonna be a statistic like many muppets who were wrong before me.

Sliding both tyres is definitely a big part of riding a Road Race bike fast.

Correct, sliding both the front and rear at the same time means you can not go any faster, sliding into corners is piss easy if you have no engine braking... just jump on the rear brake.

Sliding the fairings is undesirable

But yet you keep doing it??? hehehe

And Jay Lawrence is the local racer... and by local, that is NZ racer... He is slow i heard hehehe But apparently he can slide a bike in and out of a corner like no ones business... I have to agree after having a close inspection... Jays so dreamy...

Use the rear brake, that's what it's for.

Yes Jay is the local racer you read about in magazines, he's the man at backing it in, and soooo dreamy

Jay's me mate. And yes, I have been getting a bit of paper coverage recently.

To slide into a corner, you dont need a bunch of back brake, just enough/lots of front brake to have the back light, and a dab of rear brake and enough control to hold the bike sideways with it. you dont need bugger all from the back.

For spinning the rear on the way out, the easiest way to start it is to start rolling the throttle at max lean, and just making the rear scrabble for grip. Then start to bring the bike upright. For me its not about having it two feet out of line, its that three or six inches held out to tighten the bikes line up that counts. Not to metion the black line....gotta love it! If your doing it dont ever roll out of the throttle.

Also, like other posters have said - please, please don't do really dumb shit on the road. Track days are cheap and a really really easy and relaxed place to try the things i have seen you talking about on here.

Best wishes Jade, take it easy mate.

haha to hear 40 guys at work tell me to get a car or a tank does nothing to phase me, yet to hear 2-3 people on here tell me makes me think twice, im positive I love my bike more than 90percent of people on here and riding just as much..
Im not that keen on the back brake, more powering out, although my rep seems to state im a pleb I think my passion is for real and Ill get it right..
know me before you judge me..
