Ok, I read somewhere that when doing a wheelie, the front tire is never as high as you think it is. I'm beginning to think that leaning in the twisties is similar in that you're never leaning as far as you think you are.
I started out on my busa taking it easy and not leaning quite far enough for some situaitons. I have gradually learned to lean 'er on down. The thing is, even though I feel like I'm getting on down there, my chicken strips are still freakin' huge compared to what I see on the boards.
Don't get me wrong... I ain't gonna push past my limits just to get rid of the chicken strips. It's just like in the top speed thread. I ain't out to impress anyone. I just want to enjoy my busa at my pace and not hurt or kill myself in the process.
It's just that I feel like I'm leaning the HELL outta the thing sometimes and I still haven't come anywhere close to using all the tire. So, I have a question for those of you that have thin to non-existant chicken strips. Are you actually to the point of knee dragging to get that far over on the tire? Or, am I just not getting down as far as I think I am?
I'm hitting more and better twisties as I get used to the bike and pushing it just a tad harder as I feel comfortable. I'm just curious as to how far it has to be pushed to eliminate the strips. I just want somewhat of a measuring stick to judge my progress by. How close can you get to eliminating the strips without knee draggin'?
