Re: Draggin pegs at the Dragon
Question for you more experienced riders...
All this chitchat about dragging the pegs brought to mind something (I think) I've been experiencing on both bikes lately: I am, after about 5300 or so miles, starting to lean the bike over more than I did before, and, of course, I can make tighter turns at higher speeds. I also have noticed I lean both bikes more now at low speed too, like making a right turn, for instance.
Is leaning the bike more aggressively just something that comes with time? There's a curve on the 91 freeway near me that is kind of rough surface-wise. I distinctly remember slowing down to 50 on it early on, (possibly because I was afraid of leaning the bike over too far on a rough surface.) Now, if I think and lean and am a teensy aggressive (looking ahead, as well) I can do it at 70+, no prob.
When I went out on the Ortega Highway (kind of twisty) with Moedad and OC Hoosier they had to slow down for me because I was pretty timid in the curves. I haven't been back out that way for a while, but I'm wondering if I'd be a little quicker just with the passage of time. (It's not something I have specifically set out to practice, I just seem to have got more comfortable leaning the things over.)
Thoughts?
