Amazing video! :afro:

I tried the tips from the gentleman about riding in the wind such as putting all your weight front and down and it has made a huge difference today!  :smiley:

I am seeming to be picking things up quite quickly but there's one thing I am really struggling and that's taking a 90degree left turn from a side/main road or a traffic light box junction, its quite sharpish and I can never work out how to enter it as I always drop down quite a considerable amount and wonder if walking was quicker  to jump of the bike and bush it round :grin: I end up quite wide as well even though I am looking where I want to go. Any tips?

Also I'm on the yammie forums and was wondering wtf is a naked bike and a street fighter amongst other bike terms, plus the point of lowered handbars etc... when I see any of that I just go "huh"? :huh:

naked bikes are bikes which dont have a fairing covering the side of the bike, engine, exhaust headers etc

a streetfighter is when you get a sports bike, remove the fairing and put on straight handle bars on instead of clip ons, different headlight etc

a picture of my old triumph tt600 streetfighter....



handled so much better with the straight handle bars!!
