Learned to Fish Tail....

[jcrawford]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, ms lippy...
Jc posts a thread so he can laugh at himself, because he admittedly did something stupid, and then gets all bitty-bumhurt when people call him an idiot? (some more colorfully than others)
Hey dude, don't advertise you're a retard and people will leave you alone. You learned a little lesson in motorcycling: shift like you mean it. We've all done it before.

The real lesson to learn here is: if you don't want to get slammed, don't invite it.

No one said I was butt-hurt if you think so maybe you should read my post again.

I was just pointing out how some members here are acting in a similar fashion to how KingCast acted and many tried to get admins to ban him over it. Yet it's ok to say you are betting on when another member will crash their bike. Just plain Hypocrisy I guess.

[Chippertheripper]

If anybody is betting on crashes, the safest bet is with me...I've been racing in the woods.

My Tuono's got a factory slipper... it sucks

and so does your radiator

If it makes you feel any better, I'll bet anyone on this board 100 bucks that Chip crashes his bike next season.
EDIT: DAMIT! Chip beat me to it

I'm 99% sure that you mean CBR Knight, the kid that said if anyone on NESR crashed right in front of him, he would let them die on the side of the road and wouldn't call for help.

If it makes you feel better, if you crashed right in front of me I would stop to help.... so long as it was within the weeks I took in the pool. How would I get paid without photographic evidence?

And if you still can't take a joke, stop posting fucking threads that showcase what a complete dipshit you are and you won't end up the subject of so many jokes.

I'm pretty confused on what you were expecting. That we could all have a laugh over some tea about winding out gears on wet pavement? Pat each other on the back and go on with life? This isn't a dr feel good seminar. Life isn't. Time to grow up, there's no principle to run to and tattle on ThisBitch for being a bully.

The second half of your large post screamed butthurt.

I know no one is perfect, but I feel like those who screw up a lot automatically assume it is part of learning, and completely normal. And that everyone else went through the same thing and now they are just riding the high horse. That isn't *always* the case. Many people know how to keep their shit under control, even from day one. I think people's general point is that you're exceeding the "just learning" mistakes and approaching the plain old dumb ones.

I'll bet you $100 he crashes twice in the same day

I'll bet you $1000000000 bucks Scottie slides something into a wall before any of them does.

Only if you downshift way to quickly and let the clutch out too fast.

im doing that too :/

[Eddie]

Downshift in the breaking zone, fishtailed that hell of the my 1000 and shot right through turn one. I was clearly doing it wrong. As I got more experienced that fishtailing non-sense grew out of me.

it happens more often when you're new to track riding. You brake so much more cause you think you are going to fast. Now I brake smooth and with less lever force and I'm still braking too much.

[tsorfas]

that's not all that quick really. I know there were some year ZX10Rs and I bet other bikes that will do 100+ in first.

105 on the speedo.. dont know about real...

So, the trick for noobs is to keep the speed, lean hard and hope?
As someone who is very inexperienced, I've been having that very problem on a much smaller scale just knowing how comfortable I can be in an on/off ramp. I always end up slowing down too much out of fear (some might call this cautiousness) and never get a chance to get comfortable with leaning.

well I hope on the street you aren't braking so hard to get the back end wagging. but its lack of experience on your part. nothing wrong with being cautious. if you want to improve your skills go to a track day. the more you go to and the more you're willing to listen to instructors/control riders you'll get better at it.

as far as the on/off ramps if its one that you don't take all the time there are clues to how fast you can go. pay attention to the speed limit signs for the exit. it doesn't mean you have to go those speeds but typically a 30mph is a fairly a constant or maybe opening radius turn. the more difficult ones are usually labeled 20mph. a lot of the time those ones start out looking easy but the radius decreases so you can find yourself coming in too fast.

you don't do laps in your head all winter?

Agreed. Always smooth and predictable. We (if I may) would have Keith Code proud.

code isn't proud of any of us. we're all doing it wrong.

LOLz...I suppose I have to watch twist of the wrist a few more times.

No fish tailing here! Keeping things significantly slowly than that. I'm still working on mastering being comfortable at the posted speed limit. These ramps are ones I use every day, and am very familiar and comfortable with. I've come to believe it's a new england thing, but the posted speed signs on ramps are more like clues. A 25 is going to be TIGHT, and probably decreasing radius, and maintaining 25 is going to be dangerous for most people. A 35 is good for 65, as there aren't any actual turns. And I'm pretty confident in saying that whoever designed a lot of the ramps in MA is not qualified to be in that position. Who the shit designs an DECREASING radius ramp, such that you can barely hold 20 as you approach the highway?

I'm not out there trying to play boy-racer. I just find ramps are a good wide turn without other people to worry about in which I can practice getting comfortable with leaning. Not trying to scream through them, just trying to get the basics down.

As for the track, I hope to see some of you guys next season. Figured this year I'd spend trying to get competent. Also been eyeballing that Cool Sports 200cc dual sport in the classified section so maybe I can try to master some skills out in the woods. I keep going back and forth in my head.

[tsorfas]

all i meant you think its because you got involved with racing or ud reach that point from track days too?

[Eddie]

Ohh...I get it Chipp...actually it does sound like you too need to watch it a few more times....with all the respect.
