Well now I've met some of you guys I think I've got lucky and hit the right forum straight away (lucky me) You all seem friendly and sensible in some cases :P I would like some tips if you would be so kind.As some of you know I have made a massive jump from a 125 to a 1000 cc bike. I love the exup but now have a problem with confidence. Straight line riding is not a problem neither is riding around town. The problem is mainly on cornering on the country roads. I'm not gonna try and kid myself and believe I'm gonna go out in a couple of months time and get my knee down on every corner but I would like to get back my confidence enough to be able to crank the bike over without backing off on the gas before the corner all the time.( the only ride out I would feel able to keep up with at the moment is a convoy of vespas :-[)Any tips on building confidence? Is it just a case of keep riding until I get used to the bike or is there something else I should know? ( I think the secret of being a good rider is to always be willing to learn) I'm already feeling like an old posing fart but would love to be a competent superbike rider. :-[
