What one area of riding is your achilles heel? - Page 3

Turns through the bottom of a hill that is heading back up. I hate the way the suspension feels in those.

You may be able to fix that with some new springs/valves...

That is the stupid thing, I have a slipper clutch and good brakes but don't use either. I just start slowing down WAY before necessary. Makes me feel like I'm wasting the "perks" my bike has.

You need to come down here and go ride with Erik and I to the river. Some nice roads in southern OH, believe it or not.

I HATED the slipper clutch at first! It took me FOREVER to get used to engine braking when I started riding four strokes and THEN they take it away!

i was thinking about this thread when riding the other day and something really stood out. when im in a corner i tend to watch the guy in front of me instead of looking through the corner like i should.
