What one area of riding is your achilles heel?
 

What one riding skill seems to be that achilles heel for you? It's that area where you have to most room for growth or that area that you find mentally intimidating.

In general for me, I've noticed that I'm much more aggressive with left handed corners than right handers. It could partially due to the roads I typically ride, BUT I know a part is attributed to me not feeling as comfortable/confident I guess as I do on a left hander. This is something that I want to work on this riding season.

My disclaimer: each ride out I'm looking to improve upon all aspects of riding. But when I come home and reflect upon the days ride, I usually can recall some right hander that I "bitched up on"

Right handers here, also. Also going into corners a little hot and not looking through the corner, fixating on what's in front of me.

Late braking. Riding a V-twin I use WAY too much engine brake, not near enough front brake. That is track riding anyway.

Im with Cutty, on a v-twin, its braking. My rc51 would lock up the rear when you geared down, got used to sliding it into turns with compression. The harley is the same (thank fuck, because the brakes suck), theres a ton of engine breaking, so if its not an emergency, you can stop in lots of time.

DEER!!! I can't get over the feeling that one of those furry motherfuckers are around EVERY curve or hiding behind every bush!!!

tight u turns like the figure 8's in msf. still can't do them without putting a foot down.

Damn good waste of meat right there! :lol:

Being new to riding, I have plenty I need to work on. But, if it's one thing in particular I hate right now it would be blind curves and the like. Hills that hide cars and other obstacles etc.

I have the same problem at the track, not trusting my brakes to slow me down enough for the corner. Then trusting that I can get through the corner at a faster speed, which after going through it kicking myself for not.

For me it's the tighter right turns, probably because it puts my throttle/wrist at a funky angle and then I can't keep it at a constant speed.

I'm decent on the brakes, and the slipper clutch helps(and is awesome!!) i could be a little quicker in the LEFT handers
