Running out of lean

[McJim]

Obviously there's a wealth of knowledge being thrown here but looking at Mark's lean it does look to me like his leg is out, the bike is leaned over but look at his head - it's still above the petrol tank. The centre of mass of the body should be hanging in towards the centre of the arc. That way the bike doesn't have to lean so far.

I've attached a pic of Loris Capirossi to demonstrate - his knee is no where near the tarmac but he is kissing where his mirror would be (something DMNTD told me to do) as he enters a corner.

My point? there's more weight in your gut than in your knee cap.

Actually --nahh fuggit Mr slight,stroud,harris in nz and a bunch of international riders have it wrong--Mark has it right

Yeah but loris's whole body weights as much as skiddy's knee and remember he is one of nz top racers

Stuff this lines and smoothness bullshit. Just go faster round the corner. Stop being a pussy and use the throttle more and the brake less.

When you start falling off you'll be going about fast enough.

must upgrade to a brain first skiddy, too much power and not much self restraint is a potentially fatal combination.

Before u even get on another bike, get ur attitude right first.

1. U have nothing to prove to anyone. (dont look to race folks)
2. U are not the shit. U r a nub/turd (perhaps one day with a lot of practice and help u will be promoted to a magget).
3. The road is not the place for any of this.

Once u think uve mastered the above, ask urself this, if another bike comes up to u and challenges u to a whose got bigger balls race on the road, can u control ur throttle and not beam off after him?

If yes, you my friend will live long enough to give someone else some of the advise given to u on this thread.

Peace bro.

I strongly suspect Mark's brain is too disorganised to make use any of the advice offered in here.

[ynot slow]

God gave you ears for a reason listen,listen and take it in.

Anyone else here fearfull of the word track and ROAD,scares the shit out of me when I here he's trying this shit on the road,mate if you crash into my daughter and injure her through your actions,aspergers,adhd or not you had better run,farken fast,and best before her mum gets to you.

Do it on the track it's controlled and if your being a dickhead they will let you know.

I think we are all forgetting that the Almighty SKIDMARK is more than capable of defying the laws of physics!

[more_fasterer]

Mark, enter that ZXR into Streetstocks. You'll pick up the right racing lines, braking & powering out techniques from the other racers.

Please. You'll have half of KB cheering you on.

Running out of lean? Sooner or later, Skiddy will surely run out of spleen with his knee down antics on the road!

[Morcs]

Reaching the edges of your tyres doesnt necessarily mean you cannot go faster.

I have experienced having my rear wheel lifted clean off the ground powering out of a corner (twice) because I was leaning so far my exhaust was hitting.

After that I worked on going faster with less lean, and I did. then once you have that mastered, then leaning more can be used to gain speed.

You need to turn fasterer. So

Back her in, and spin her out. Tighter lines with more awesomeness.

'Cos its all about riding awesome.

lern how to spal

it's awesomerer !

stoopid

[Boob Johnson]

ever thought that 3 seconds may be from you braking to early and getting on the gas too late? just because your "leaning" doesnt mean shit if your braking to early

lol yup yup yup yup yup


As said by previous poster, your the expert you work it out


Yet another "look at moi look at moi" post from SM, hey at least your consistent with crap posts Mark


Hows that Moto GP (pipe) dream comin along then? Guessing you haven't died trying yet?



We live in hope

well, some very good advice there, so listen to it.

That's just the problem, all Mark has ever been interested in is chocking his own chain. He has had all the advice in the world, people have lent a hand & helped the kid out on MANY occasions & time & time again he snubs it off because he (thinks) he knows what he's doing only to show himself to be the muppet he is. His original post here is a prime example that he STILL hasn't got a clue, not even close.
