Thinking about trying to learn to back my motard into a corner...
Setting aside the how... anybody know a good place to try it? I want to see if there's a good place to do it. I'm in Boston, I ride Loudon occasionally and I'm at NYST quite a bit. Might ride Thompson this year and doubt I'll take the motard down to Thunderbolt.
And does it take an extremely skilled rider a long time to learn, or just a track day or two for a decent rider?
I've seen videos of guys doing it in T3 at Loudon... But that's effing T3, at Loudon. I'd rather not have the EMT's trying to pull my teeth out of the tire wall.
I'm not 100% sure what type of corners it works best in (either for shaving off lap time, or just for kicks, or both), but it seems to be sharp corners at the end of straights, ~90 degrees or so. Sort of like T18 at NYST, and T1 to a lesser extent. I'm guessing that positive camber makes it a little less hairy but I could see it going either way (might not have to try as hard on the off-camber stuff).
