February 7, 201214 yr Look ahead (not at what is just in front of you). Leave the clutch alone. Steer the bike with your feet (really!.... stop forcing the bike to go where you turn the bars) just my 2 cents.....
February 8, 201214 yr What makes a smooth rider?..In a word ..'alcohol' . Lol there was a 2 day trial down here last year. For some reason all the guys that usually beat me who had a few drinks the night before the second day had a real hard time keeping their feet on the pegs and I rode better than most of them. Very unusual . I didn't have a drop of the naughty water
February 10, 201214 yr I hope the reply was tounge in cheek but.... Under any circumstances alcohol and riding do not mix. Samy's reply is a point in case
February 10, 201214 yr The bike's power delivery can be a big thing. If you have smooth power delivery throughout the rev range helps a huge amount as your not on off the throttle. Why some of the old bikes with experienced riders are able to ride slippy sections easy and the bike that's an animal is on off and the riders working hard.
February 10, 201214 yr I hope the reply was tounge in cheek but.... Under any circumstances alcohol and riding do not mix. Samy's reply is a point in case If only somebody had told about 40 years ago!!! it's clearly too late for me.
