Tips and tricks to tackle corners effectively and safely
Hi all,
I have been more of a tourer right from the beginning. Let it be a driving or riding. Its been around 10 years since i started riding and have enjoyed every bit of the time feeling the air in your face through the open gap of helmet like a dog with its face outside the car window.
Most of the tourings that i have done on 2 wheels is on plains and all the tours that i have done on hills have been on 4 wheels. So, I have never been a corner craver nor there have been any incidents for testing my cornering skills. But recently it changed.
Two months ago, I had taken a trip to Yercaud from chennai on HH CBZ Xtreme. This was the first time i am going to a hill station on 2 wheels. The ride from chennai to salem was as usual with stretches of wonderfully laid roads with me crusing at 80-90 having a relaxing time. But as i started climbing the roads to yercaud from salem, I started enjoying the curves like never before. I know the curves on the way are not as legendary as many other places. Since it was my first ride on curves i had an amazing time. I had found a new ecstasy when bending the bike and going around corners, which has opened a zeal to learn a new style of riding.
Ever since i have been back from the trip, I have been trying to learn how to tackle corners. I would like to get tips and learn from experts on handing the ride through corners. I have searched the forum for a thread which will give tips on how to tips to corner more effective and safely, with no luck. I had come across few discussion as in, there is an entry speed and exit speed, but it has been deeply explained. May be i have not been searching properly.
So, I have started a thread for discussions on cornering, so that, guys like me can try and harness new side of riding and open a new potential which might not have been tested.
Note to Mods: I didn't know which section this belongs to. If it doesn't belong here, I request you to move it accordingly.
Cheers
