Yup, I was only thinking of a right handed turn for some reason..........I guess I'm always thinking worse case scenario.

I also agree that hitting the brakes in a turn might be too advanced for some.......but I'd rather try that and stand at least a chance of keeping it up vice dumping it for sure off the road.

But good points all around!


EDIT: I think the "best" advice that can be given is to NEVER ride above your level............hell, for a beginner you should never ride AT your level (100%). Keep it safe and smooth out there and you'll improve over time just because of all the seat time you'll have under your belt!

Never try and prove anything to yourself or anyone else. True riding friends will understand this and never leave you behind.
