Today the Mighty BMW takes a look at Cornering, in another video in the occasional series of rider tips.
Possibly the thing that riders like the most, the feeling of leaning into a bend, balancing the throttle and powering out the other side is a feeling only a biker can experience.
But there is a downside to cornering. If it goes wrong, it goes wrong bigtime.
So here we split the process of taking a bend into 3 easy steps.
1 – observation on the approach, we look at how to use observation and vanishing point to get the speed right before we get into the bend
2 – position the bike for the best view, taking into account safety
3 – counter-steer, use the black-art of counter -steering to dial in the exact point you want the bike to lean.
By using these simple 3 techniques you will be cornering smoother, and definitely safer.
Pull up a chair, grab a cuppa and let’s do some cornering.
Ride safe, Dave
