Tips for New Riders




If there is no sign telling you that the speed limit is less, you don't have to slow down for the corner. No really, if the engineers who make the traffic speed calculations have decided that a car can safely make this particular curve at a particular speed (ie the current speed limit) there is no chance whatsoever that your motorcycle can't make it at or above that same speed. After all, motorcycles can corner (insert your own made up statistic here)% faster than the average car.

DON'T SLOW DOWN!

Those yellow speed limit signs are designed for fully loaded big trucks.
About the only time I slow down that slow is when I'm pulling a loaded tank trailer.

Yup. We were rolling through 40mph curves at 70 yesterday. Nice ride, nice road.
