Yeah I've always wondered if on a bigger SS you would scrape your pegs before going down?
Before you do any of this please make sure you are properly protected as best as you can afford e.g. full suit, full gloves, proper boots, back protector, chest protector, possible neck protector. If and when you crash it can mean getting up with just a scratch or not getting up.
Take Racer 5. There is one tomorrow.
Dirt translates pretty well if you ride in sand. You'll never worry about fishtails again, lol

...and somehow, a pinecone is the thing that made me crash.
Yep, and I'm going all weekend!!! TOTALLY STOKED:
Umm no one else has said this but you wont run out of tire riding on the street. And you will definitely drag your pegs before running out of tire on a gsxr.

On a serious note, how would you save it? Steady the throttle and straighten a bit? Or slow roll off throttle and straighten?
roll off throttle while in corner= highside,no?![]()
yup...sorry, didn't read all the previous ones!油井緋色;2059631 said:Slow roll off, not chop completely.
In my opinion learning how to ride dirt trails with skill and attention will translate to the street better than track school, but if you insist on pushing it on the street learning both is nothing but a plus

This is one of my fears as well when I ride aggressive (hitting known on-ramps as practice runs), and it always runs in the back of my mind if i'm going to run out of tire.
Question, I have a HINT of a chicken strip in the back, but waaaaay more at the front. Is this normal? Should the rear be reaching the edge quicker than the front or should they be even? Is this an indicator that my bike isn't setup properly?
As stated above, if you want to push hard enough to find the limits of your tires or your bike, the track is by far the best place to do it. The street has to many variables even known ramps or roads. Bit of gravel or some oil left by a leaking truck for example (which I now have to clean off my bike 427N/407W ramp this morning). Also ramps generally have zero run off if/when you step over the equipments or your limits.
Meeting a guard rail or jersey barrier at a high rate of speed is not on my list of to do's and the reason I will never push hard on the street.

Just wait until you hit the track and take your first hot lapramps will loose their appeal very quickly.
