Where are your eyes while in a turn?

You need not look down in front of the front tire...look out ahead through the turn, way out ahead if the turn allows...when doing this you see already what you arealways approaching well in advance... it also help to not fixate on objects and you instinctively ride past them...it help me stay in a much better line in sweeping turns especially when riding more aggressive I don't get the turn bobble when I practice this technique.

I have new riding friends that have a hard time practicing this.

I am not saying I got all going...I am just saying

What say you...? Anybody else do this?

 

LOOK DOWN -GO DOWN!

 

You will follow where your eyes lead you.

 

I focus a good distance and turn my head to face my turn during the lean. It's the only way to avoid that sensation that you'll fall.

 

Yup! Gotta look where you want to go.
See lots of new riders that don't know that.

 

This technique is taught in all riders courses. Look "through" the turn.

Agree on the much smoother line all the way through if you do this.

 

I guess I am showing my age...lol...never went to riding school I think it is a great/fantastic idea though

Dad got me my first bike at 4 yr old...raced in my 20's and 30's...learning to ride betteris an obsession of mine...this sport is in my blood......God I love it.

 

I bought the "Ride like a pro" DVD.

I rode a bunch when I was younger then took a 25 year break until 5 years a go. I'm an experienced rider BUT I learned a lot from the DVD.

The DVD is mostly about slow speed maneuvers. They teach to look before your turn and the bike will follow your eyes. Not easy to break old habits but it does work. Been practicing a lot lately and It's made me an even better rider. Not a pro yet but much better.

Do yourself a favor and get the DVD.

Always looking ahead at the inside line of the curve works for me........
