How to hang off the bike - Page 12

I'm always just thinking that "man, I really wanna get around that turn" and let my body do the leading, I dunno, it's hard to explain, but I guess it works...

At Tally, it was the second time I had ridden the CBR, its quite obvious:

At Barber I was doing it a little bit...

I think it was a little better at Nashville, although you can still see that my shoulders are kinda closed, I need to open them up a little.:

Thanks ya'll! I have been riding for a long time but am just now beginning to really want to go fast throught the curves. I will be anxious to go to the gap and try out some of the things I've read here.

i went up and down thru some twisties over here, took it easy cuz i didnt have the roads memorized, but i noticed on the tighter right hand turns, i tend to lean the bike more, and my body way less...

all the left handers i have my left buttcheek off the seat, arms loose(mostly, still workin on it), helmet in line with the mirror. feels right, comfy. when i go right i seem to push the bike down with my arms and get off the seat less, and the mirror would be way to the right of the helmet. feels weird, but not sure how to correct it. when i force myself to do it the way i think it should be done, it feels even more awkward. just a practice thing, or maybe im just not a ambi-turner? i cant go right lol

im gonna be goin every week, and eventually get some footage so i/u rider types can critique. just tryin to be smooth and correct, fuck going fast, for now atleast
