V4junkie Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I started a thread on VFRWorld.com during my first summer of riding. I found all of the advice very helpful, especially being pretty new at the time. This board is a bit empty so putting this up here couldn't hurt!http://vfrworld.com/forums/riding-advice/17912-body-position.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wheels>4 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Dude, that was pretty good, and by extension I found a few more browsing youtube afterward. I have a bit better understanding of things I was doing without thought, both good and bad. I am relatively new to motorcycles, but I learned a lot of balance habits from mountain biking, ATVs and breaking and riding horses, some of which have translated well, others not so much. The whole counter-steering thing was counter intuitive to me at first, but leaning myself sideways half off a bike was easy and I don't panic when the bike does funny shit like wobble, bounce, drift or lay down... (that part is from horses... when they spook and jump sideways, buck, wtf ever, you just have to relax and go with it or you get tossed....) I definitely need to get some stouter pants and make it to a track day now... Yet another reason why I need knee pads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
