    That's because Lemmy from Revzilla is a Harley Dood

    The way I could tell that was that growth on his back.

    Lemmy and Squiggy?

    Other indicators were the ear rings, the manicure and the rise in voice pitch by sometimes a full octave.

    I think that on anything two wheels that you actually counter steer all the time. Slow maneuvering turns are initiated by a turn of the wheel in the direction you want to go. The bike falls into into that direction. Counter steering brings you back upright and stops the turn. In faster speeds all turns are countersteer. I had to pay attention as all of this is just natural steering to most people who have been on bikes for any length of time. You just feel it and do it.

    Tons of places for the jewelry and nail care. The last is not a recommendation unless significant changes are in order.

    I ran into a lot of trouble with this when first learning how to ride, the thing that helped me the most was BODY POSITION. Ride with your weight on the balls of your feet on the peg, not your heels or middle of foot. Relax your arms and steer the bike with your legs more than anything, and as previously mentioned LOOK WHERE YOU WANT TO GO

    Not talking about that, talking about bike geometry being off. With all you said above AND your bike set up properly your bar input will have to be much less.

    Seeing you live in Austin I bet there are a bunch of really good suspension guys. See if you can hang out and learn. A great way is to do track days and work with a suspension guy while doing lots of laps. Nothing like immediate feedback. I don't know if Thermos Man still makes it out that way, think he still works Barber and other eastern tracks. He good and fair pricing. I want to ride COTA one of these days.

    Hit a track day in Austin or anywhere near Austin. Five will get you ten that there will be somebody there that will get your suspension sorted.

    I looked into it an COTA is booked for the rest of the year lmao! They do offer full suspension tuning for an extra 40 bucks on your scheduled day where they have a pro do all the notations and adjustments for you, all you do is take laps and give feedback. They have 3 levels of courses to take to get access (a beginner, intermediate, and advanced) heres the kicker...500 usd just to get one day out there...and it aint gonna be til later next year at best. Seems like a sweet program tho, advanced riding techniques and full suspension tune in a nice controlled environment surrounded by pros... probably worth it..

    Ride smart is the organization that does circuit of the Americas track days. They also do a bunch of other tracks in Texas and out-of-state tracks to. I have done one of their track days at Barber. They run a very good event. COTA will be The most expensive but it will also probably be the best track you will ever be on. You can get it less than $500, you just have to look. The new schedule should come out soon for 2017. The other tracks will have suspension guys too. Also I'm pretty sure there will be private events there that are less than $500. Our CBR club is actually looking to see if we can do an annual track day there. I would really like to ride that track.

    Sounds more like a school rather than a track day for 500 pesos. The odd thing is it sounds like the 40 pesos is tacked on, driving dudes taking the course into springing for more money because their suspension is either crap or needs tweaking.

    You can get a ride at COTA for around 350 sometimes.
