Message: [QUOTE="Whoops, post: 191602, member: 18899"] All the recommendations above are good. There is something else I have noticed in my own experience:scream: and watching good riders:D, the motorcycle has to lean. I know what you are thinking, yea duh. But seriously, if you won't let the bike lean over you won't go fast through a corner. Beginners have a particularly hard time with this. ( I am not saying you are a beginner, I'm just saying its real obvious when you watch a beginner.) My son is struggling with the same problem. He is fast in a straight line through whoops, jumps, whatever, but he struggles to find the balance between leaning and speed when he is in a corner. Basically he coasts through the 3/4 of the corner and accelerates in the last 1/4 of the turn. I have him working on berms to get used to leaning over and accelerating early in the corner. The next step will be making the same turning motion without the berms. Whoops [/QUOTE]
