The vanishing point changing direction with speed myth !!!

[shiftyblake]

Can't believe people are still peddling the myth that a vanishing point moving opposite to the corner means that you can increase your speed next time. The faster speed will stabilise the movement of the vanishing point at the right speed. CRAP ! The vanishing point will not change direction or stabilise because of speed, it will always move in the same direction or directions every time you take the corner as the curve is the same each time. All that happens the faster you go is that the point moves faster !!!!

I just ride my bike - how I actually do that I have no idea and care even less

.. can't quite work out what you are explaining here !!

I think I get it, I think of a similar thing where you can see your braking distance, unless you can see around corners/bends then you may not see your braking distance if going too fast.

I have tried to apply logic to riding but couldn't get it right, now I just leave my riding as ****.

I should have posted the original article and dumbed my comments down a bit ! appologies

Glad its not just me them....I'm confused.

Wish I'd learnt about vanishing points years ago.

For anyone interested I reckon this is a pretty good explanation http://www.mikewaite.co.uk/articles/...d-dead-ground/

I only heard about vanishing points and counter steering in the last five years or so. God knows how I managed to ride a bike for thirty years before someone analysed how it was done and put names to it. Sometimes I wonder if people think to much about what they're supposed to do and never use their senses.

Far too much to try and calculate , It's always been a feeling for me and some days it feels really right and other days not so sharp .
