Video Of How NOT To Corner

YouTube - Parking lot crash

If you need a video showing you exactly how not to ride slow/moderate speed corners, here it is. They have a freaking awesome idea going here, since this particular parking lot is set up perfectly for riding of this sort.

Things done incorrectly:

Body Position
These two pretty much got it wrong in every corner. If you're going to lean down to the point of scraping pegs, you needs to start repositioning your body to help with traction & CG.

Throttle
They chopped the throttle mid corner or coasted thru every corner.

Braking
Use your front brake in the corner & you're playing with fire.

KC-10 FE out...
