Your braking should be done before you enter the turn. Never touch the brakes while leaned over

What you want to do is go into the turn and lean your body into the turn. then when you hit the apex of the turn, grab a heaping handfull of front brake. This will help to plant your rear end. Remember to look through the turn. See, I'm not a mean guy.

What you should do is take a Motorcycle safety class. Or end up dead Squid on the side of the road. the MSF class will teach you all the proper important rules of riding, the right way to do things the first time and save you a grip on insurance. I rode dirt bikes my whole life and had a lot of unlearning to do for street riding, I felt like a dork during the beginning of the class, well ok through most of it, cause they start with very basic stuff for those who have never ridden before, but they taught me important habits to create and I got a few laughs out of the girls who wanted to learn cause "it is sexy" when they fell on their asses and got sent home. Sorry, I am a bit bitter about dumbasses, they end up dead asses and give riders a bad name.

If you want more riding skills post MSF (Motorcycle safety foundation, call 1-800-RIDE-411) then try California superbike school, they have classes all over the country and teach you the "Art of cornering". They sell videos and crap too. Their two day camp is my next learning adventure, once I get 1900 to burn, which will be almost never.

last thing i want is to fall or get hurt-if i don't ask how else can i learn

My father taught me how to ride, he stood the bike up on its kick stand, told me to practice falling off, then he would teach me to make it move.

It isn't a question of IF it is a question of when and how hard. expect to fall, expect to get hurt, it comes with the territory, just make sure you don't make it happened when not necessary and you know how to handle it when it does. If you try to save your bike instead of jumping off, you are going down the cliff with it, footpegs make great launch ramps in tight spots.

if i don't ask how else can i learn
The smartest people in the world know they don't know everything and aren't afraid to ask. You should never ask a question for fear of ridicule, for it is the small minded that perpetrate the ridicule, and they end up seafood on the highway.

Whoa, k now, enough philosophy, I feel like a dork, Nerd patrol, Kat has lost her kewl.

Call 1-800-ride-411 and they can tell you where an MSF class is in your area. Once you pass the class, you can get your license at the DMV without having to take the riding test.

HAHAHAHAHAHA :!: :twisted: Now thats more like it! First post out of 83 that you did'nt talk 13 year old baby talk. In my opinion this is a motorcycle forum for people who own, want to own, or have owned bikes. Your first couple dozen posts had no reference to bikes or the desire to learn about them. Then in 2 days time you own a 600RR :roll: I will admit that I talk some dumb shit from time to time but I have been known to spread my limited amount of knowledge to those with a genuine desire to go further in the sport. I dont feel the need to back up my signiture as many members here already know what I and many other members here have put our bodies through in our quest to fill our adrenaline cups to the top. Cut the teenage Bull Shit and get down to business. Your turn.................and be genuine about it! Sorry for the thread jack Kat :wink:

Hey, np, I am only here cause I can't be ridin, you know, living viacariously through posts, when I should be working. Actually, I am supposed to be supporting my proggies, I wrote em so well, been a lot of down time as of lates, GO ME!

speaking of adrenaline rushing to the head, just pulled a Squidette yesterday you reminded me of with that post.....

pulled up to a guy on a yellow gixxer 1000 trying to impress some chickies in an old delta 88, he was popping wheelies at the light for em, I rolled up, hair down on that day no less and rolled right past him, healmost fell over when he did a double take, I blew him a kiss threw my helmet, and power-up wheelied right past him, raced a quarter blew his ass away, got up to 115 on a surface street, there were no side streets or cars, so only kind of stupid, but man what a rush! Hey thanks for making me relive the adrenaline, ok I'll shut up now.

that is the best advice you can get. take the msf course. it will do wonders for your confidence and you might even get cheaper insurance rates after completing the course.
as to this meathead turbo guy, you can use your brakes when leaning over, it is called trailbraking, and should only be done by experienced riders, you really would not be doing that on the street anyway, the speed should be saved for the track where it belongs. not with a damn camera on your bike so people can see you go 186 mph on the street, its people like that ( wheele ) that cause everybody else to suffer with high insurance rates and getting a bad rap. hopefully when he crashes at that speed he only kills himself and not some innocent person. ride safe :wink: [/quote]

don't be concerned with all the stuff you read in the mags or here people say. it'll all make you think Way too damned much. Motorcycling is about being One with your bike and your surroundings. Just as a child you grew up to take one step at a time, after you learned to take a step, and then walk after you learned how to run.... prolly from your mom with a cookie in hand! :P .
1st off take it as slow as you can. the more comfortable you are on and with your bike the better you can become.
action without conviction will equal near or certain disaster and that almost always happens in the turns.
The turns are a place to play with coasting or slight throttle to maintain both velocity and lean angle. if you let off the throttle in a turn the bike will fall to the inside and the front end will wash out or move away from your plane of travel.
Stay on top of your bike. sounds funny but I'm fer real. most of my standard turns I have the bike do the lean while I stay neutral with the bike and my head stays level while my eyes are looking forward through the turn.
That brings on object fixation... object fixation is a disorder that has you drive towards something you are looking at.
For example, you get a little squirley or too fast for your comfort in a trun and freak out with staring at where you are afraid you will end up. if you would just let it go and think through it instead of at it you will more than likely pull out of the danger zone by just putting trust into your bike.
keep staring at the object and freak out you and the object may be united.
the most common object fixation comes from a road obstacle that suddenly comes into your path and you have to react to overcome it.
look at all things at all times to have every possible escape route planned before you can think of it. you must have a moderate sense of vulneablity coming from riding on scooters. it's even more great while on a motorcycle that ways over 400 ponds with all the fluids in it.


best place to get familiar with you bike is away from congested areas. hit the back roads and get to know your baby as closely as you can and drive around in city traffic as you feel you safely can.city traffic will throw more than a few curve balls at you especially if you are not looking.
good rule of thumb for riding in traffic is to assume No One Sees You.


back on to turns...
keep 'em slow, keep 'em smooth, use mild to moderate throttle and No Brakes. braking in a turn will have the tires slide out or you bike to stand straight up and go forward. uhhh you're in a turn, going forward not good. :P

I hope your not saying you hope he will wreck and kill himself.
I don't think you are but its funny to hear you say how other people should ride. I guess your the expert and have never broke the law or anything.You think you could reteach me how to ride, I've only been riding for about 26 years but I'm sure you know more about it than anybody else on here so can ya.

Oh well sorry to ramble your post just twisted me a little.

Very true, but VQ needs to learn to ride, not show off :-)>. Sorry I posted a story of me showing off here, I was just reminded of my uber squid moment by Tor. Hence a Squid moment, I knew it was dumb, but never would pulled that crap with any other factors, like side streets or cars. So Vespa, whatever you do, make sure you have nothing to prove, my man woulda hated having ot explain to my kids that mommy was dead casue she is a show off :eek:

You can tell us about all of your squidly moments here Kat. We've all had them :wink: None of us are angles. I like to think that this forum has a mutual understanding that you should ride how you like to ride. People that dont feel that way don't have to think ill will on others.

well there mister 1wheelmax, im not telling anybody how to ride. here you have a very novice rider looking for some advice on how to ride correctly and you have meatheads with cameras showing themselves going damn near 200 mph, not such a good thing for a novice rider to see. regardless weather its a country road or no cars it is absouletly insane to go that fast on any road other than a racetrack. I would not want to re-teach you how to ride, nor would i tell you how to ride and yes i have broken the law before but never even come close to reaching that speed on the street, only on the race track. you may think its ok for people to do that, but I think most people in this forum would agree that it is very, very unsafe to do t on the street, regardless of the conditions. I have been riding for 13 years, 6 of them at a amateur level of racing. I have quite a bit of experience on the street and track. maybe i will se you on the track some day :wink:

We all ride for the love of the open road, and sometimes we do stupid shit. People do stupid shit, it happens, there is no need for al this anger. Eh, what the hell, I like to yell too

I don't think anyone asking for help on how to ride is going to go watch wheelies videos and think they should try it because he does it. most people on this forum are a lot more mature than what your used to obviously. I'm getting on the track real soon, but until then I will fill my adrenaline need on the streets.

It has turned into a bit of a soap opera recently, hasn't it? Too funny.


VQ-Keith Code's book is a good one. I found it at Barnes and Noble. It may be a little advanced for what you want, but it should help. Someone said it - take it easy until you are comfortable. It will take a while, but be patient. That 600rr is very fast and probably not a great first bike, (my opinion only) but if you respect it you should be fine. Don't get to brave to fast.

hey now, why does everybody gotta be a hater?? sorry 1wheelmax, i meant no disrespect to you. maybe some of these other people should lead by example. I just think that if you are going to show off, do it with your buddies, dont show a picture of you going 186, what does that prove? nothing, anybody else can do the same thing. people need to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely, to protect themselves and other people. I dont know why everbody is making such a big deal out of this, i still dont know why people dont make safety there first priority. hey, its dangerous out there, i dont want to die and i dont think anybody else does either. enough about that, sorry to anybody that i offended, just putting im my input. :(

See what happens when you invite girlies to the party, drama ensues! No need to try to talk to her anymore guys, apparently the trying to kill her shit made her cry and she is gone for good. I tried to tell her let it roll off and jsut say ok whatever to comments, but alas, you scared her off. Damn and I was about to get some too, why'd you do that?!?!?!

She was a nice girl, let us all have a moment of silence and continue on with our drama free lives. If she does come back, try to be nice, k?

have you seen any of the videos? Since I dont have 1900 or even 345 and a desire to have to fix my bike, I want all the help I can get for less moola, though, any money spent learning more ways not to die on your bike is definately a good investment.

Do a track day that is put on by an organisation that breaks track time into groups of various skill level. This will give you a safe environment to practice braking, acceleration, hitting the apex of a turn, and most importantly, really learning the subtlties of your bike. This shouldnt run you more than $200 - $240 provoded you already have the right riding gear. This is money well spent and it's a hell of a lot of fun.

hey now, why does everybody gotta be a hater??


twas so because you dished out your personal views strongly before getting to know that most all of us do take safety for others and ourselves seriously.
If we were to post up pics of our average every day riding aparrel you would find everyone would have a helmet and jacket on and more than half of us would have either full or 2 peice leathers while you go blazing down whatever road we can without putting some innocent in harms way from us doing what we can with what we have since going to the track isn't exactly in the budget for us to do every time we feel desire move us when we see that wide open unpopulated pedestrianless back road that only we are on.
No most of us here don't ride conservatively. I know I don't and yes there has been a slip up at least once before and that state trooper told me to "find the right roads to air it out on".
There you go. advice from a Wisconsin State Trooper on do's and don'ts of getting wicked in the wild.


I personally like the pic Wheelie posted up because quite frankly some of us have the abilty to go above and beyond that 186 you mention almost anyone can do and since I can't afford a bike that is capable of doing such and one of my friends is I am ecstatic to enjoy what I can through him -for us. he didn't have to go and do that but he did it so he could share that enjoyment that some of us can not acheive right now but are waiting for once again. That is how he showed off while riding with his buddies as you mentioned.
the speaking of him killing himself was quite rude and will not be tolerated.
one takes what risk they must to accomodate their passion to do what it is they do.
you wouldn't find it pleasant for somone to say they hope you got aids from someone you had to deal with because you do the job you do when it is your passion to do that job now would you? (if you were a police officer or an emt or even a doctor) [lame example but hey... it's getting late]

you call yourself a motorcyclist?? you sound like an idiot that happens to own a motorcycle. i can tolerate ALOT of things, but wishing a wreck and death on someone riding like you know damn good and well you have done yourself, is inexcuseable. if you were any kind of rider or person, you would tell him to be careful....and that would be that. theft has a lot to do with the insurance rates going up too douche bag. wheelie is a responsible adult and he should ride how he chooses. just be careful and pick the right spots.............would that have been so hard to say??

spikedog, I may have blown up a little to fast but this one comment was uncalled for.

hopefully when he crashes at that speed he only kills himself and not some innocent person

other than that I enjoy reading everyones opinions, thats what this board is all about.
But to come in here and give one of the long time board members a comment like that just ain't right man.

I think I speak for most of the people on this board when I say we want you and other members to say how you feel, but just not about some other member wrecking or getting killed because you don't agree with the way they ride.

I should have told you in a different way than I did, how I felt about your post, and I apologize for that.

I think there is something I could learn from each member of this board, including you, and I hope to.


If you have some suggestions for my first trackday, they are appreciated.

have you seen any of the videos? Since I dont have 1900 or even 345 and a desire to have to fix my bike, I want all the help I can get for less moola, though, any money spent learning more ways not to die on your bike is definately a good investment.

Yea I have the twist of the wrist vol 1 on DVD. Its kinda corny but a lot of valuble info, even for seasoned riders. Its kinda like learning the guitar, you have to have the RIGHT foundation first before you can really play. :wink:

GNT - Object fixation.....LOL reminds me of the time (one of many), that I almost binged it...

looking at a large tree (don't ask why- probably a petit mal seizure) and I went of my turning line, by the time I was back to earth, I had to lay the bike down in the turn to miss the curb, stayed on the thottle- smooth, and banked the other direction. My friends were like- what happened??? I said did you see the size of that tree??? they all laughed...

I think everyone should know what the bike does in the turns, whether on a full grip of throttle, or heavy on the front brake. I am the only one in my "crew" that can really brake in the turns hard (I am far from expert so no one front). If you can't get around an obstacle in a turn, then what? you know you are on the brakes, it's better to know what will happen, instead of trying it for the first time - in a shitty situation.

and VQ - definetly do the MSF. My friends little sister rides an 03 R6, PC, Micron Himout, sick little 600. She took the the MSF, and let me tell you she can clutch out nd make left handers from red lights with smoothness and percision as if she was riding for years.

I was taught by another long time rider. The test bike0 a Yamaha 440 LTD. The track- dead end road with a bunch of empty gallon milk jugs. If you hit those they just bounce out of the way...

6 of them at a amateur level of racing
if you raced as a amateur for 6 years then you should keep your mouth shut,because racing as a AM for 6 years is a fuckin joke,you must be really fuckin slow or you had a lot of DNF's..
your on the wrong board to talk about insurance rates and all that other bullshit because we dont give a fuck..

This is too funny! The best thing about this whole thread was Wheelie's picture of the dog..... And Kat gettin some. How bout some more details Kat?

After that, maybe we could have a nice discussion with Queen on countersteering.... That makes things a whole lot easier.

But first, I'd like to hear how Kat talks on the board and GETS A PIECE AT THE SAME TIME!!!!! Gotta be a woman thing.

I didn't get my piece, I was trying to bargain, if you guys behaved, maybe we could give a show, but you guys must've really pissed her off, cause she just went MIA. Girls are sensitive, you gotta tip-toe through the tulips with them. Me, I am only a girl on the outside, so I can take a joke, emotion is only second hand to me.

Oh well, maybe the next girl we can drag on here will be a more willing participant.

hey guys and wheelie, look, i dont hope wheelie kills himself, i dont want to see anybody get killed, all i meant was that if he does have an accident doing some crazy insane stunt or going fast that he doesnt injure or kill ant innocent bystanders. I apologize to wheelie, and to everybody else, im not trying to be anybodys mom, but when you have been riding for a lot of years you sometimes become comfortable with how you ride and dont always give 100% when you ride and get a little lax when riding and thats when bad things happen. everbody has there own view and opinions on how to ride. this is an awesome forum and i very much would like to gain any knowledge from anybody that is willing to give it, anything you want to know 1wheelmax, just let me know, i would be happy to give you any advice. once again im am sorry if i offended anybody and i apologize again to wheelie. :frown:

Well, now that we are all happy and fine, and I already missed my piece, can we all agree that we can disagree and stop the whining tearing and yelling and go back to riding?!?!?!
