True.

So, We're all in agreement.....

"SLIPPERY OIL" is Best.....

REFRESHER: Body Language/Signaling

Good day fellow peeps it's Sunday my favorite day to ride and before I leave I thought I'd share some newly found online posters. Re: Cycle-Signing
I use a few of these still (and some made-up ones )

Bumping again, Yep! You can never read or learn enough (Dad-dio use to say)

Another thread with videos (here it comes again, haha) "countersteering," braking, clothing etc.
Here if you choose to watch:

Please add a tip for us too if you've got one (learned one?)

Bump. For newbies, oldies, lurkers....all peeps!

Please add to this thread if you come upon something that will make us all better, safer, smarter, etc., riders.

Learned from Experience counts too.

I recently read something on the forum that would fit in this thread nicely. Where? Don't know now

I can think of a few alternatives to these.

Best not to

Scrubbing those tires - Got "Chicken Strips?" Did you ever hear of them? Now you will

Here's a helpful technique to remove them
(At 24 seconds, the how to begins:)

Why not remove them by leaning over more. It's the most fun part of a bike...

Because you would have to remove the C-stand to use more of the tire/tyre on PCX. It's obvious when sport bikers have faked their leaning range over a guy who's been to the track. I leave the marks as they ride... and it's respectable.

I looked closely and I'm sure it wasn't a PCX. They guy has posed (vertically) and then shown someone how to remove the tyre mould release agent from the side of his toys rear tyre.

On YouTube.

No shame.

That's not removing the chicken strip, it's now down his back. It won't fool even the most inexperienced of motorcyclists.


We're saying the same thing. Just use the bike. Leaning over a bit is good. Leaning over more is better.

Spring has Sprung and it's FINALLY time to Ride, But Wait!
There's More tuit! Let's roll safely. Yes, and Let's have Fun!
Thinking MSF? Maybe considering (seriously) about taking a safety course? Great!

If/When you have time, why not sit back and take a look at these links.
To lure you in I'm sharing their video page.
"You can decide and ride" from there

Hmmm! not correct. The stickier the better. Ask Castrol and their nano technology and/or magnetite ?? (Sp).. You want oil to stick to metal so there is always a molecular barrier between the moving metal components. When oil sticks to these components you have less wear. That being said I would stay away from any Elmers, or similar products that might get you into a real bind. Stick with Castrol, Mobil 1 , Valvoline and Ride-on..

Utter bollocks.
The whole point of oil is to reduce friction, this isn't achieved by increasing the stickyness between the metal components, if it was we would be filling the crankcase with glue.

And leaning over too much is painful

Yes it is.
