The past few years it felt as if i am getting slower and unsure when riding 500/890. i seem to be always falling behind and feeling unsure. My righthand turns with speed on gravel were ok/good, butttt turning to the left i lost a lot of speed and momentum. So.
I watched this new eenspoor programme on tv, and saw them doing cones and slalom.. Mmmmm i did a course with Jan 20 yrs ago- what am i doing wrong?
Eureka- i just moved my weight forward in the turns....pressing outside knee forward against the tank duh i was riding like a rookie with my weight back.
It has made a HUGE difference. After riding for nearly 30 yrs.... i feel like a new rider.
Anyway, you riding gods know that and do that i reckon.
Maybe this can just help one stupid old @#$% like me. You're welcome
