Tonik

I am still in shock you did this. You totally won the internet today.

Wow, that is pretty epic. I think we need you to go faster though....before the counter steer is really in play. Any really big hills nearby?

We could easily hit this on our typical Saturday.

That's what you said about last Saturday.

If you want silly, how about going to a damn track day when you don't own a damn bike.

Bonus points if you look at the camera and say 'Hold my beer' before you start.

Fair enough, I rescinded my negative vote.

I down voted Tim's since he couldn't get the gif to work.

Be sure to video this.

LOL, I forgot about that. Yea I did that too.

Oh it sucks, and is hard as hell. Cops for sure would have lit me up for a suspected DUI if they saw me.

A while back there was a giant thread about how you can't steer a bike with just a lean. I stayed out of it, people were going ape shit. Instead on the way home from work I got on the turnpike at 147, set the cruise at 80 and drove all the way to 170 where I get off. I stayed in my lane, went around corners and changed lanes and never once touched my handle bars.

Just to clarify, what are you asking when you say 'how many of you actually use counter-steering'. Cuz I am pretty damn certain we all do since it's the only way to steer a bike at speed. Don't say it Tonik...don't say it Tonik....quick someone ban me before I go for the obvious joke here.

I'm more of a spiced apple guy.

And I'm totally getting an infrared thermometer for the donuts.

As Tony mentioned we start the corner a little slower as we snap over. That gives us two huge advantages for the rest of the curve. We can see further, we are on the outside and can look further thru the apex. And most importantly we can now totally control our exit line with our throttle but still be acellerating. In a right hander....on coming car crowding the center line we don't roll on as hard. Gravel on the right, roll on more and drift out.

Heck, I even got my donuts trained to lean.

If for some reason you don't get it in time I have already made arrangements for us to borrow my kids. And if you want to check his out while its winter we can certainly do that. He isn't far from where you live. Basically 18 and 94.

Remember when I took you aside and said you were one of the smoothest riders I have seen...I am the opposite. I go from straight up to 90 percent lean in a heartbeat. Dunno how I can do it so quick, but I do. I do know that after a day in the twisties my arms and shoulders are sore.

Just hit it with one of those 3M Scotch Brite pads.

Dead nuts on assessment, I have seen the same thing. Not sure if I am pulling it off, but I try and do it your way too. Turn later and harder...square it off.

Did you eat it in one sitting?

Yea, he was raised by white people. He sucks at math.

F' the turtle. The rule is if you can eat it in one sitting, speed up. You will go right through it. If it's bigger and will provide a couple of meals...slow down and avoid...cuz it will probably wreck you.
