I am a new rider, I just started this year, and have logged about 2000 miles. I bought my bike used from a guy in NH who had put about 6000 miles on it.
Anyways, I've been pushing myself to lean further and further over, and have shrank the 2" chicken strips that were on my tires down to about 1/2". I was going around this curve yesterday, and came in hotter than I would have liked:
I was going about 40 mph, and this is the kind of corner you would take at 15-20 mph comfortably in a car. So I approach the corner, start leaning, realize its not enough, lean more, and more, and more, until I am pretty uncomfortable and just praying for it to end when my bars start to shake from left to right. This scared the piss out of me and all I wanted to do was roll off the throttle, but I didnt. I pulled out of the corner with my heart pounding and a massive adrenaline rush.
What made my bars shake like that? Is that what bumps in the road feel like when you are leaned over that far?
