Dont be so touchy all the while.......

As the saying goes...........In the real world, its a bit like riding a bike, you never forget.

Your body will tell you when your going to fall off and you will do something about it, either go faster or stand the bike up......

ooh nearly forgot........i thought you were one of those against track riding....

You know, sometimes you can just think about these sort of things a bit too much.

wasnt being touchy, just asking for your experience as well as the pi$$ taking

and wheres the against track riding come from?! confusing me with someone else there.

trouble is, it feels really odd hanging off, always has, and I guess in the back of my mind there is the thought it will just fall over (especially at roundabout speeds) and now I'm back on a sports bike, I want to work on improving my riding, especially on track. Rehearse the right habits

You have to ask why its required to hang off and what the reason and benefits are!!

.........and at a low speed roundabout its not......in fact probably at all roundabouts ............. except when you want to make a poxy video.......

ok...mallory hairpin, which is the pic before, or cadwell hairpin etc etc

but r/bouts are a great place to learn the technique if chosen correctly
