Re: Best corner in town.
You want to get over to the reditch cloverleaf

It's 4 70mph left handers linked together and is the only place I've got me knee down on the left :-)

Re: Best corner in town.
we need to meet up then! i always get the left knee down but have never got my right one down! I did look on line the other day and a "Knee down and wheelie school" is £425 for the day!!!!lloydie wrote:You want to get over to the reditch cloverleaf

I don't seem to be able to hang off the right side, but ironically the RHS of the tyre always gets worn off most! so i obviously hang off left and stand the bike up more. Geodude was a wheelie dude and it looked so cool. I pop them, sh1t myself and go up and down like a bloody yo yo.

missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Those do look like fun, especially if you can do one, then take the next exit, do the next and so on....keep going in a loop.
Btw, if you're not hanging off the right, the lean angle increases, therefore you get closer to the edge of the tyre and wear it more.
If you're hanging your weight off the left properly, the lean angle doesn't need to be as high for the same corner speed.

Re: Best corner in town.
I need to go look for that, I just use the single loop onto the Alcester rd, but its a single knee down rh loop to a dead stop at a give way. those ones in the photo look much more fun
