Casual ride putting some more miles on the new bike. Rant and what not on what I feel happened at the dragon a few weekends ago. #zx4rr#zx4r#kawasakininja
Your point of you don't have parking lots near you is dumb, if you are near the tail then theres tons of places you can go to for sure. Spend a day looking around, search around google maps use street view. You might have to ride 20 minutes or more to get there but that option is there if you want it. You also saying you don't want to practice because you don't want to drop the bike is also dumb to me, you just said you slid it at the tail! You are telling me you would rather risk it on the road than get comfortable in a safe spot? Wrecks happen all the time, would you rather have fairing damage or would you rather have fairing damage plus the risk of bodily damage and binning the bike from slamming into something? I love the backroads. Tons of fun. Please do not make the public roads the first place you test your limits, riding is dangerous enough.
Hey it's Big E, old local on the dragon, ride with Antprilia. Best thing I was taught when I was trying to drag a knee etc back 25 years ago was to stop trying so hard. If you just start moving your head low, forward and toward the mirror that you are leaning into then you will see that just doing that with your upper body keeps the bike stable and keeps you from upsetting the bike with your lower body. Practice that for a few weeks, then slowly do what I just told you but start hanging just a half a butt cheek off. Do that for a few weeks then little by little move more of your butt off the seat while puting your head towards that mirror while looking through the turn! Try it! I promise you it will come to you! Good luck, be safe!
@@Yesitsqk Oh and keep your speed reasonable, don't push your speed, just practice moving your head forward and over until it starts to feel comfortable. Us fast guys started off low and slow just like everybody else LOL. Remember slow is smooth and smooth is fast, in that order! Baby steps!!! One more thing that is very crucial, work on throttle control, that is what keeps the bike stable mid corner, too much or too little upsets the bike! keep it steady and smooth! If you see me up there then chase me down, stop me, wave me down! I'll work with you and get your confidence back! Also I have a new 2023 Yamaha MT-09 SP that I ride a lot too especially when JR is on his Husky 701 motard.
@@Yesitsqk Oh we will do more than meet, give you some pointers and then we can go ride, go a easy pace and apply the techniques that you learn. You will be riding way better in minutes. Oh and let me take a look at your suspension, make sure it's set up right. I am a suspension guy, a few clickers off and that can really throw you off coming in or out of a corner. We ride these expensive bikes because the suspension is top notch and works for us, not against us LOL.
