Not always correct, though it may be in this case. To my knowledge, the right way to maintain good control of any vehicle at curves 'above' the average speed is to decelerate to the point where you think the curve can be managed, and then accelerate out of it.
Reminds me of a fall when I had my Pulsar sometime in 2004. It was on a route i used to take on a daily basis. I was coming back from Dadar TT Circle to the west. There is a sharp right after the bridge which i used to lean and take with confidence on each weekday when one fine day due to no reason, the rear gives up with no warning whatsoever, depositing my rear right there, while the bike continues to move onto the oncoming lane which was on the left. Thankfully the taxiwallah was able to brake on time (a rarity) lolz. Surprisingly the only damage was to the crash guard which had a few scratches. I suppose there was no damage to the bike for the reason that the bike was already leaning. Anyways Kedar, I'm glad you got out of your fall without any injuries. Well, and the whack on the backside is just reason enough to thank the Almighty that none of the other body parts had to suffer ... just being optimistic ;) Take care & Cheers to the fact that you're unhurt -Eric --- In [email protected], "Deshpande, Hrishikesh" <hrishikesh.deshpa...@...> wrote: > > Theoretically it was an incorrect response.
