if there isnt enough vision or if the corner is blind it isnt tempting to committ to the corner at all. It is rather super scary ! Tempting is that what is done in complete vision for then you can throttle and get that knee down by carrying enough speed.
When I see a vehicle or a blind corner I just suddenly abandon everything that I am doing and straighten the bike up and cruise.Attempt is to make that a reflex action.
You will see that a handful of good riders cornering at lavasa are in the opposite lane when at their apex. Check them pics out at FB. These guys have nailed the corner and are pulling one handers or whatever they think is cool, but unfortunately they are in the opposite lane
As you said, it takes discipline. But it does not take skill to not cross your lane and to not overtake in blind corners and as such can be done by anyone and everyone at lavasa or anywhere else.
Untill recently even seasoned lavasa riders like Sagar46, Ritwik, NV used to cut lanes at lavasa untill we all collectively realised the importance of staying in your lane.
Vision or not ! Traffic or not ! never ever get into the opposite lane, it will be a good idea to expect someone in your own lane though
Very true. I Agree with you both sir.Originally posted by niranjanvaidya View PostI totally agree on this part. Earlier, there was this consideration that if you can see the entire corner, its ok to cut lanes but recently, all of us have decided to stay put in our lanes and forget the oncoming lane's existence.
And what Tenhut says is true again...riding on public roads is scary and not a bit exciting. The concentration levels and anticipatory skills involved here are totally different to what one might use on the track.
From our experience of Lavassa and rides around, we can safely say that there are idiots who will come into your lane on blind corners and fast corners...prime spots to look out for while riding fast.
Its not closed circuit and yeah always expect someone to enter your lane,
i had it experienced not on bike but in car.
Sorry not not multi quoting my previous postIf everything's under control, you're going too slow..

Jaago sone waalo! Have a coffee or an apple! But wake up guys!!! how was 'How not to brake!' G2G.. And why have we suddenly sidelined a certain cafe owner from our group b'coz G2Gs are no longer held at that chai tapri owner's tapri!Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

there is a conspiracy taking shape.. a big revolt..Originally posted by antz.bin View PostJaago sone waalo! Have a coffee or an apple! But wake up guys!!! how was 'How not to brake!' G2G..

soon, the tapri owner will be given a show-cause notice for not having free g2g parties... loll..
Actually, yesterday's g2g was great as usual.. the usual biking gyan.. we understood how not to break.. oops.. I mean brake...
Yesterday's agenda was mainly centered over the CSS with our AGENT 010 HUT discussing about the various aspects of the track days...
and everyone is planning to hold Surojit at ransom cos he has some distant links with a transporter...
then vishwas nearly cornered shrinath for a booooozing party but then something happened and everyone started discussing about the fall...
.
luckily, over this confusion, everyone (conveniently) forgot that someone had called for a BASHUP "AN IDIOT" g2g and hence I am writing this log!!...
btw, you are posting after along time... 5 days to be precise.. are you back in pune??
