wa.. so happening behind ah.. i tot we were all going at 80-90kph only?

 

80-90km/h meh.. then maybe my speedo faulty.. :cheeky:

so probably at nshw i was travelling at 190km/h only.. speedo lying to me all the time..

 

tp ghosts past us before you 3 zoom past us. we were riding about 100kmh on my ta150 speedo. 4 tps somemore, dunno where they speeding to... high-speed chase after a cager i suppose???

 

ohhh... now it makes sense... since phantom speedo 100km/h is about 80km/h... :smile:

been trying to push/pull technique while cornering. hands not really using force to turn the handle bar but trying to just push and pull on both sides of grips at the beginning of the cornering. fwa! very nice, like fighter jet swerving direction like that. so fun! :angel: find it easier and faster to change direction and have a better entry into a corner...

 

wa, why driving schs never teach us these useful techniques?

you are not used to it cos you are consciously doing it. but in actual fact, you are doing it all the time, otherwise you cannot make a turn without counter steering at speed above 15km/h+-.

counter steering is weird..not fun..it goes against our natural instinct..

i experimented with it on a quiet road..whoa all so foreign..

i tilt my body if i want to change lane or turn into a corner..yeah pushing handle is definitely faster than tilting body..

this more like what we we learn..u want to turn left..u do left actions..vice versa..i am okay with this.but not so agile to change what i have learnt all my life..

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time:dot:

push and pull both have to use one, push on right grip to make bike go right,

pull on left grip also to make bike go right... so both my hands doing push and pull whatever situation requires, left cornering, right cornering, left lane change, right lane change, etc... i guess being able to countersteer skillfully using both hands is much safer and stable...

 

push on right grip and pull on left grip, bike goes right.

pull on right and push on left, bike goes left.

 

try it!
