A pretty smart guy once described "insanity" as the act of doing one thing over and over again and expecting a different result...

jus' sayin' MikeR1


FWIW - I mowed my lawn once more this afternoon, I think I'll be putting it away for the season now.

This is an important question...

When you roll on the throttle (accelerate) through a curve, what happens to the lean angle?

Roll - How hard, downshift, torque change, traction patch, road surface? Pretty sure if you were to roll a throttle like some of us do, your angle would decrease or increase uncontrollably, because I'm pretty sure you won't be prepared for it.

I dont know. You should be able to answer this as you have 3 degrees and way more riding experience than the rest of us.

You don't 'roll' on the throttle, you twist it. Just like can't push down, but push forward.
Heard/herd, where/wear, etc

Not sure what MikerR1's agenda is. (But guessing someone who knows how to ride, but just likes to stir the pot) Really don't care, but the only good thing about this thread has been some of the replies by those in the know.

I'd really like to thank IdahoHacker for his detailed explanation of the 'o ****' condition while in a curve from pages ago. Me to a T! That post alone was more informative than the 3 MSF, ABATE, and Total Control courses I took this yr to keep my riding in check, even though been riding for over 40 yrs.

In other words you don't know.

Here is a question for you

If you roll on the throttle (accelerate) through a curve, what will happen to the lean angle?

usually when I'm on the Ultra I hit up tight corners punch the throttle , kick out the back end lean more till my knees touch then power slide out and finish with a monster wheelie. All while turning up the volume on my stereo.

It would really help if you came clean about your experience.
