classic whorelock. "I'll kick your ***!"

i got his back, tho.. so.. ya.. do it and read.

 

Unfortunately this is purely for the track. 99% of forum users do 99% of their riding on the street. Apply these lessons on the street without a lot of experience and you'll die. Simple really.

The other point, that will pass by most US readers, is that it follows CBT.

CBT is compulsory basic training, similar to the MSF course, so this PDF isn't saying that someone who's never been on a bike before can start straight on the track with this sort of instruction.

Newbies are better ignoring this until they're preparing for their first track day, and ignoring it altogether it as far as street riding is concerned.

i didn't read it and i'm a newb, you gonna beat me up and ban me too Whorelock??


hehe

 

I'm gonna kick your ***.............LOL My opinion is that cautious noobs will be just that. But some new riders are going to start trying to corner aggresively, just the nature of some riders. I think that if the ones that are overly aggressive read and learn, it gives them a better chance. So what's the harm. I believe that the more you read and learn, the better off you are. Track riding uses the same concepts in most cases, that you use for everyday twisty riding. Learning is good. It is always up to each and every individual to know their limits.

 

Testing from the new Blackberry. Sup yall

 

The control concepts are the same. The lines are quite a bit different unless you're lucky enough to know a twisty road with no banks, hedges, walls fences or any other obstruction to a clear line of sight right across the bends.

Braking is very different on the road as well. There are a lot of newish riders out there who, based on what they've been told at a track session, never use their rear brakes. Some of them can't understand why they occasionally end up sitting on their *** instead of coming to a controlled halt.

I'm all for reading and learning, but not when only half of the story is given - ie the half that says 'this is for the track and the road is different'. If you'd said that I'd have had no comment to make. You left an impression that this is what's needed to ride competently for newcomers to the street. That's wrong.

Well, I guess they have been told now!
