Finding the limit of ones natural ability...

[Adam_W]

I think iv found the limit of my natural ability.. or lack of it.

Twice this week iv had issues cornering.

1st time on a roundabout, coldish morning not out long and im on a roundabout, reasonably quick, the back end slides, only a tiny bit im sure but the toe of my boot scuffed on the tarmac.. certainly got my heart going that.

2nd time, left hander off a roundabout, dry, warm, and again trying to get round reasonably quickly the whole bike feels like it slides out, only a tiny movement but it freaked me out and i stood the thing up pretty sharpish.

Its not like im doing xxx mph and hanging off the bike with my knee down or anything either.

Is it just poor technique? or am i rubbish? or is it the bike?

Interesting reading.

Generally i try to keep the throttle neutral round the corners, i tend to roll it off just before and it gets unsettled so im trying to stop doing that.

The first time i mentioned im pretty sure i opened the throttle too soon as mentioned.

Sounds like i need to slide over on my seat and move about on the bike more.
