Rolling the throttle off as you approach the bend & rolling it back on again as you reach the apex becomes second nature though.


It has only just occurred to me that I have always ridden bikes this way. I`ve never been much of a footpeg scraper and never really paid much attention to why I can`t be arsed to go fast round bends, but now i`ve got the Electraglide I seem to find that it is happy taking corners like this and actuaaly gets round them better. It may have something to do with the steering neck being in front of the forklegs (better for straight line riding). Grin Grin Grin Grin
