not really going that fast

I was not really going that fast, the corners are just really that tight so I really have to lean the bike or else I will runoff the road or into the other lane. I may be scraping my boots because my toes are pointed too low(see pic)? or maybe parts of the snake is really sloped. maybe I should scoot back on the seat? but i feel like I should be pressed up against the gas tank. And your right, i found an alternative to the pucks, i'm getting tri tex pants with knee armor instead in case of a lowside, much cheaper than leathers.

    • Lean off more.; You should be leaning your body MORE than the bike. That mea (n/t) — chrisk, Wed Nov 02, 2011 1:04 am
