    It looks like the guy in the video is leaning his shoulders towards the ground more than his rear.

        I am working on leaning the bike and turning in the width of a traffic lane.
        Another thing I re-learned was that the bike would go where I was looking
        These two things go hand in hand. If you turn your head and look where you're going it will help a bunch.


        Check out the edges of ur tyres 2 see how much wear is left

        When you're down at scraping angles for these bikes, you are at BEST riding on the tire somewhere about halfway between the bottom center and the edge. Lots of tire (tyre) left on the edge that you never will use. Not on these bikes anyway..

        Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

        You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

          I guess the whole thing about the bike going where you are looking explains why younger women are more likely to be hit by motorcyclists.
          Ich habe dich nicht gefragt.
