Cornering techniques...?

Go fast and don't crash!

Actually...



Lean the bik in the corners, don't steer, use couter steering methods as needed. Put you outside to the turn pedal down and put most of your weight there. Let your bike natrally lean. Use the whole lane, and unless you can see whats beyond the corner do not cross the center line. Watch out for the center in corners to avoid oil slicks which can make you crash. Brake before the turn and if ever in doubt, take the corner slower than you think is necessary. Finally fin how your bike decends well before the twisties... don't want shimmy in a corner...
