Cornering tips

[erwinvw]

I've found like most that I have no need to be as GENTLE on the Tiger as on other bikes.

It seems that I need to be really physical  and hang off really well.

I've not yet had major lean angle, but on gentle back and forth bends at around 180 or higher you can really muscle it and it seems to handle alright.



Seems that I hang off on it where on other bikes a little push or pull on the bars gets you there...

I kind of like it. Feels like you are really given er... :D

Hey 3Rider,

Great advice about getting additional training from professionals.......

By the way, how costly was Shannonville?

It's Just down the street from me.....

Hi Steve,



They offer one and two-day courses. I took the one-day, which cost $500 Cdn plus $100 CDN for insurance. That includes either an SV650, GSX-R  600, or an R6 plus all gear. Add another $40 for a CDROM of professional photos of yourself on the track  - - who wouldn't? :) It may sound a bit expensive but given the number of people it takes to run the thing, I don't think anyone's getting rich. Add $400 more for the 2-day course. A number of people were taking it for the second time. My own next step, if I were to invest in a track bike, would be to do track days to practice what I learned. But 1m18sec. on the Nelson circuit was perfectly good for mild-mannered old me.
