stoppies with out a steering stabilzer = bad news....

I had a OH **** moment yesterday on the klx... i was following my buddy on his ktm620 he turned left across traffic, so i down shifted i guess 1 too many gears, rear end locked up and kicked out as i was turning in front of 2 lanes of traffic... YIKES.... but experience was on my side... im sure it looked sweet.... first time i ever "drifted" the trakmaster on asphalt...

IMO.... the MSF was useless.... experience is wayy better.. MSF was a waste of my time... id like to take the advanced course though.... Wanna learn how your bike is going to react? go play in the snow....

 

Remember to keep your FEET UP
More AUS talent.

Wow sid thanks for all the info,, Ive been meaning to take the course I will soon,, But your info here was helpfull to me


Glad your ok and it all ended well

 

I must say I disagree with you on this issue. I had nearly a decade of riding experience in rural Oklahoma when I went to college and quit riding. When I took the MSF basic course, the "walking" and real "entry level" stuff wasn't helpful but, everything else was a good use of my time. I learned stuff there that has saved me scuffed motorcycle parts and a few scrapes on my body.

Understanding the "textbook" physics of doing what you do is very enlightening. I use stuff I learned/relearned in the MSF course everyday.
