Cornering practice at Old Pac | Honda CBR650R | Akra Pure Sound

[@tipsy9426]

a few tips from someone who has spent far too much time on old pac.
1. learn how to rev match, when you just use the clutch for downshifting, the sudden release when going back into gear causes your bike to become unstable (thats why you jolt everytime you downshift). instability before and in a corner is probably the most dangerous situation you can put yourself in. theres a reason most new bikes come with an autoblipper and its not only for clutch longevity.
2. dont cover your clutch and front brake mid corner. this is self explanatory, you dont want to panic and pull them because you will crash if you do. if you have to slow down, roll off the throttle softly and use your rear brake. you can use the front brake lightly but i wouldnt recommend on this bike in particular.
3. i noticed heaps that multiple times you were riding in the left or right hand side of the lane. if theres no cars/bikes, go for it. however its a public road and if you step out too far you can and will get your head taken off by a car or bike.
4. look where you want to go, goes without saying.
5. shift your body weight - when your prepping to take a corner, shift your ass to the left side of your seat if its a left hand corner and vise versa. when youre cornering, a lower center of gravity is your friend, it helps your bike take the corner and it also means if you need to correct your direction youre not solely relying on your arms.
you ride very smart in a sense that youre not putting yourself out of your comfort zone and youre not trying to keep up with people that are faster than you. being able to corner well comes with experience and not knowledge so its good youre not trying to drop a knee lmao. ride safe 💯

Just some friendly advice here, that double line crossing you did at 20:10 could have ended badly. You looked at the other rider saw him pull out and followed him, instead of looking if it was clear for you to go. You ended right in the path of travel of those two GS's, just imagine if it would have been a truck. It's easy for beginner and experienced riders to make the mistake of herd mentality. Ride with friends but don't stop doing what you would do if you were alone. Remember ride your own ride.

Beautiful sounding bike, ridding in a group is fun, but let them go their own speed. I'm a new rider and one thing I learned is to not try to keep up, I'll ride wtvr speed feels safe to me. Keep it up, improvements will come to us all haha ive already improved a ton since I started ridding a few months ago.
And the "trust the bike" comment makes it sound like you should just go all out and not be afraid. Some fear is healthy, confidence and trust comes with time and experience. I rather take my time and do it on my own pace.
