Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

out and about last weekend and we got the idea of takingsome action snaps (of course, it was on a racetrack silly people, honest!! )


just thought id share with you seeing as i'm relatively new to this on road riding business, so hints and tips on form are much appreciated too

Looking Good Gav, but I'd be giving the white line a little more space mate. Of course if thats a private road with a road block I'd be on the other side of it . Keep up the good work.
Cheers Brett

Thought the same thing but as a semi novice wasn't gunna say it.

Nice helmet BTW Gav

yer, tis abit close - that particular section of road (errmm..track!!) is resurfaced too - verrry slipery when you hit it!!!

cheers pearl black - tis "black chrome" with iridium visor - definately gets noticed alot!! pity the it seems to attract bugs and fingerprints tho :-S

Yeah, technically you're on the wrong side of a barrier line. And tat's not a place you wanna be!

Yeah I know I've had the same lid for a little under 6 months, new bike soon so I'll update the lid to match.

Think I'll stay with the KBC though, top unit.

Looking good.

Looks like you're keeping your head level with the road and not on the angle that the bike is on and the 2nd shot it looks like you looking where you "want" to go and not where "you are going".

Some CC, get your upper body over more, outside of the screen. (It will mean the bike doesn't need to lean as far to corner for a given speed and harder to drag knee, but allows for more corner speed / lean angle left / larger margin for error). But get comfortable with what you're doing, improve your skills and then fine tune later.

ahh....cool pearl black - as soon as i saw the pics of your crash (sorry to hear btw) and saw your screen i thought i'd have to get one to match my helmet on my next bike lol - good taste mate

cheers Steve - that was a 35 posted corner at 80, i'm usually most comfortable at around that double or double and add 10 area - will try the upper body next time i'm out i've been invited to the next GC motorcycle track day in september, should be lots of fun and learning !!

a track with trees

Some nice pics mate,keep em up mate and youll be taking great pics of us all.
