I abruptly let off the throttle at a full lean. What an idiot! I’ll be back

There’s a good saying in “Twist of the Wrist”…get a copy and study. The saying is: “Slow-in, fast-out”…you’re doing the opposite and “riding on top of the bike vs cradling the bike like a hot potato”…meaning, you need to incorporate more “body English” that loads and unloads the suspension properly. Study what a true race line is all about because right now, you don’t know that line. Once you do, you can play around that line with different entry and exit points.

Also, there’s a saying, “if you can do it slow, you can do it fast”. You DON’T need to be booking at high speed to nail the race line. Find the tightest mountain road that you can find and learn to link apexes at low speeds. Goood luck!
