[xBhp Universal Thread]: Bending and LeaningThread

[nin]

^^+1 to that...in such cases shifting back weight,braking,lowering gears all without losing traction and balance is all in all a tedious yet a skillful task....mastering it needs practice and good luck ! only a few can do it successfully and come out safe !

suppose the road in this case was narrower, the bend was tighter such that i wouldn't see the car before im committed to the corner what is the correct braking technique to be used

Better safe than sorry, i myself am a cornering junkie but ,i only try cornering on bends which i am familiar with, and have a clear view of oncoming traffic (if any, but dont try cornering on any busy places). Forget about mid corner correction and shifting weight etc.. Just know this, one stupid scorpio in middle of cornering BAM!! And U are ketchup..

ok, i almost read the entire thread and learnt quite a few things theoritically, but to practice them practically, i would need to remove the main stand in my ride.

However, had a question.

Anybody tried power-slide (anti-steering)?? any inputs on those??

i have tried cornering several times and i guess most of the time i did it right (after reading the mentioned procedures which matches mine to a good extent) but have never tried power-slide.

Inputs awaited.

Thanks in advance.
