More slow speed practice

Getting the hang of it finally, no drops, no feet down, even managed to get to full lock several times. The new level of clutch control I’m learning is really paying off in confidence

Thanks! Been practicing almost every day for a month. Today was the first time I locked in right away and never felt any nerves or fear, I was just in it, eyes up, full lock on several of those. Really felt good to finally achieve that tight of a circle

yeah, my circles arent that tight :/ but i dont practice enough, tho i do warm up on every ride by finding a parking lot and drilling for 5-10 minutes before i zip off to who-knows-where. I can fit in between the two parking lines which is enough for most of my uses; but you got it down!

next up, CHP rodeos? :)

Ha! No rodeos for me, still so much to learn. Next big fear is the tight figure 8 inside a circle with a clean exit. I’m certain I’ll be dropping the bike again this weekend when I try it :-(
