Hey everyone....i'm definitely new to riding ... i took the msf course about a year ago....but it wasn't until last month that i actually rode my own sportbike. I bought a 99 r6. I have roughly put around 500 miles on it since i've gotten it....mostly around my neighborhood, and a little bit on the highway. (i love it by the way.....the r6 has always been my dream bike)
Here's my question...i've read up on how you're supposed to take corners "correctly" but i keep finding myself entering into a turn at around 15 - 18 miles an hour but i always let up on the gas in the middle of the turn. I feel that if i keep the throttle rolled, i'll end up in the opposite lane. How do you guys do it? I'm talking about a normal 90 angle right or left turn. I know that one of the big factor in accidents...bikers turning into oncoming traffic.
Sorry for the long post, but i'm just trying to get some tips for my own safety.
oke :cheers
