I prefer the tight stuff. I don't even really do sweepers. Ill go balls out in a tight corner, and pussy my way through sweepers.



My logic is, going down at 60 beats going down at 120.

Tight and technical.

I know, I know, both are too fast for the street

Well, this is how I would define fast versus slow. Granted 50-70 is not slow when you are going through a turn like most down there but slow in relationship to 100-130.

My CBR likes the tight stuff, the Ducati likes the sweepers. I prefer the tight turns on the street. 120mph curves make me think about them too much to enjoy them on the street. Memory tells me that sweepers are quite a rush on a track, but that was a long time ago. They would probably terrify me now. Although turn 12 at RA always had my full attention but that was because I was seeing that big red clay wall in front of me most of the way through it. I think they have moved it back since then.

Tight stuff of course. Sweepers would mean I'd have to be on a highway. Yuck.

I like. It tight

BobTheBiker 11-18-2009 01:38 AM

tight and technical. its the only way to go for me. sweepers are for highways. fuck that.

Sweepers.

Mr Lefty 11-18-2009 07:42 AM

both have their + and - with me... the only thing I don't like is long flat straight sections...

if I had to choose... probably sweepers. but I was never all that fast... just liked the rhythm I could get in with sweepers... places like the Gap... I couldn't get in a rhythm... but again... I was slow

Depends on the bike I'm riding.

The motard: Deals gap type curves
The R1: Cherahola skyway (with no cops) FTW
The BMW: west virginia hiways where you can keep the cruise on 70 and damn near drag a peg
