Hey just a quick question, I've been cornering a lot lately and was wondering as to what i am doing wrong my bottom tip of the shoe scraps the floor on the turn as i keep it under the gear in order to quickly change up as i come out of the turn, i know im not supposed to be doing that on the road but when there's an Asian driver behind you, you really don't want to take a chance no offense to Asians its well known most of them cant drive, don't hate im only being upfront and straight to the point
He's learning ;) , I could actually read that on the first go.........

No need to keep your foot under the lever in the middle of the corner - you dont change gear at the apex - as soon as the bike starts to come back to the upright you can whip it up another gear and your away.........

I thought the same, but he did make an effort to use punctuation so I thought I'd have a go at helping...........he made an effort, so did I ;)

Lets hope with a bit of helpful advice he makes another 1000. Fitzy, there are some highly skilled riders in this club - scattered all over the country - you would be absolutely bonkers not to tap into it, then you might actaully have a fighting chance ;)

point noted, I have got to start breaking that habit

- i shall upload pics of my tires and let you guys be the judge (i can feel this one coming to bite me on the arse :roll: but you wont learn without feedback)
- wearing gloves for 2 -3 days now and my right middle finger and index finger has lost its finger prints ( i shall post these pics as well to leave you in disgust! :kuda: )

p.s any other pointers regarding cornering or long rides that have straights 95% of the time, which end up giving you chicken strips?

Mate if you can't see the speed cameras you've got bigger troubles... There has to be 3 signs indicating a speed or safety camera BEFORE you get to the camera ... :roll:

... unless its a mobile then the sign is after the van; but then again its a white ford territory, or a lunchbox shaped van with an orange stripe along the side; and if you cant see that then you've got bigger issues

m5 just before brooks road always has one
mr between fairford road and king georges has one at least twice a week
m4 just west of woodville road on ramp, twice a week
start of the m2 (the downhill bit) just after the end of the m7, every afternoon
heathcote road, several places several times a week but always at the bottom of a hill
appin road, sunday mornings
f3/princess highway between stanwell tops exit and the bottom of mt ousley, friday nights, and random weekends (at least 2 per month)

have a neighbour who drive a delivery truck for a living, stops and takes photos of them to piss the clowns off in them!
