riding with no hands........ feet on the fairings steering with my feet. Using simple countersteering technique, it was easy... push right to go right, push left to go left.
I still haven't gotten any experts chiming in on my sweet bread!!! Bwahaha
yeah i've heard of it... lol.
but weighting a peg at the right time just like using body weight as a steering input is essential to going fast... and for recovering from mistakes.
I've had the ground smack my knee up against my fairings before in turn 10 at hallett... bike was loosing traction and sliding out from underneath me... happened so quick all i had time to do was shove back with my knee and weight the outside peg to try and bring it back... luckily it didn't slide very far (more of a slip) before it settled down and we kept going.
when your input on the bars gets light, you gotta go to something else to try and recover.
weight is also a huge deal in supermoto racing... and there... counter steering takes on a whole new meaning... back that sucker into a right hand turn with the bars locked to the left....
I told you, I want to become an expert.
