Need help!!! Cornering diagrams

allyxx · Post by **allyxx** » Apr 5th, '07, 16:50

Please can anyone point me in the right direction to find some decent cornering diagrams. Preferably ones showing good and bad lines for cornering.

I know I could draw them for my solicitor but if I can get something more official looking he might actually listen to what I'm saying.

If anyone has anything that could help please post a reply or e-mail me. Or even a book to borrow (buy if cheap enough) Even suggestions at this stage would be gratefully recieved

PLEASE PLEASE pretty please..... I'm getting to the end of my tether with my insurance comp and solicitor as they haven't a clue about bikes

why what you trying to say
i know "bike" mag has things on riding lines and rospa do a book on road craft. if that helps any?

i did a police rider training corse and that was mainly on the ride wide theroy
riding around the outside of the corner until you can see the vanishing point open up

works real well for me and it has actualy made me faster as i dont slow down as much for bends unlike the racing line theroy (brake apex squirt) that reduces the view of the road ahead!
