backing it in

[rishkid]

does anyone here other than reciprocity knows how to properly and safely back a motorcycle in to the corners at a trackday

please explain in full detail how to do it and what you are doing on the bike from begining to end including body position?

[murf]

Awesome, what trackdays you going to try this at?
Go practice on a dirt bike

[rishkid]

all of them reciprocity told me he can back it in to any corner at any track/race weekend on any day and still pull out a top 3 finish he just refuses to let us mere mortals know how it is done

Awesome, what trackdays you going to try this at?

[reciprocity]

I've seen Matt McBride doing it very nicely in Turn 1 (Fabi) at Shannonville at a rider's choice track day last year.
Maybe he is willing to share the secret?
It was quite impressive to watch him!

You will totally learn how to do this by reading a wall of text on an internet message board.

I too would like to know

Learning how to "back it" into corners on a track bike is quickly going to get expensive.(When you get it wrong you high side to the moon).

Get your self a dirt bike and have at 'er.

Sounds like motorcycles aren't the only things you're good at 'backing in'.

Some of you guys are trying to explain something you don't understand yourselves?

Do you point at airplanes and say "That's a car?"

those were corner exit slides initiated by throttle application.

Backing it in is not the same and is done for different reasons.

For those interested in trying, read this

The same principals apply to roadrace bikes, however, roadrace suspension carries and stores MUCH more energy because of the extra weight the bikes have.

When you put a bike sideways, the rear shock will compress, this stores energy in the spring, which is going to be released at some point.

A properly configured roadrace setup will normally have a relatively quick rebound circuit to keep the rear tire on the ground.

This quick release of the stored energy in the spring is what causes the corner entry highside when you back it in and don't get it right.

Rich, you get one on one instruction at our next trackday.

If you highside, I'll laugh and drive your wife home when you go to the hospital

Dony condour is telling you way too much but i do like the that explanation it makes sense.

Finally this is what i have been waiting for lessons from Canada's top motorcross and supermotoracer champ.

when is the next trackday this weekend?
