Riding Gravel Roads

[Crisis management]

Wot Oscar said......absolutely right except for the tail out bit, thats allowed cause it looks cool, terrifies the oncoming traffic and someone has too, don't they?


Just a brief note about other users on the road: There are lots of them, and like you, they think they can use the full width of the road when cornering....and thats only the stock wandering about, the car drivers are even worse.

At some point past ten-tenths, on a good day and feeling slightly mental, I have been known to "back it in", but this somewhat more technical than the brakeslides/powerslides being advocated above...

+1,000,000 for the warning re other users. I centerpunched a Stationwagen full of surfers on the Waanga Road in 2002.

I'm just trying to decide whether I have been praised or reprimanded!

This may take some time to work out.

Neither.
I was agreeing wid you regarding looking cool sideways and sometimes I can't resist the temptation to hoon it up.

It's not always the fastest way, though.
