Don't know about you but the whole reason i corner with my knee out on my bicycle is just in case i have to pick it all up again, if i go into too hot, 100mm cranks make sure i can power slide the rearwarthog101 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 12:38 amThere is far less control on a bicycle however without a throttle.jasjas wrote:indeed Kenny did but the fact remains, that the guy went in too fast, tried to scrub speed and crashed... yes you need to carry corner speed on 'cycle but crashing will cost you far more time than a more conservative approach, as this guy proved.warthog101 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 1:08 pmKing Kenny had a throttle.jasjas wrote:He went in too fast and had to lose too much speed.... and crashed.... slow in fast out as Kenny Roberts used to say.
You could argue he was better at being fast out than other GP racers at the time, as he was used to controlling a sliding bike with the throttle, due to his flat track racing background.
You are not controlling a slide or exit speed without one.
Not running soft tyres with a larger contact patch that allow the feel and control of a slide when combined with a throttle.
No ability to be particularly "fast out" without drive being applied to the rear wheel.
The motorcycle analogy in this thread doesn't really work.
It is however far more interesting than bicycle cornering.
Yes going in too fast on either is a good way to crash with the possible exception of M Marquez.
Seriously, comparisons on m/c vs bicycle cornering is meaningless, as you say the two are totally different but for me, i d rather go in a little slower and then sprint out, is better than trying to lose speed mid apex.
