drifiting

[nick_villan]

hey have any of u guys done it on ur bike? my friend says its easy and hell teatch me how next weekend, should i try it?

[GSnMARAUDER]

i have never heard of motorcycle drifting. but sounds like it is going to be a pain in the ass considering all the tires you'll go through

[CirclesCenter]

No I haven't

And I think the probablity of injury is much higher than on my list than a new rear tire.

Drifting is for dirt. If you want to drift safely (relatively at least) rock a little 85 into a tight dirt corner with the throttle pegged and a leg down.

Anyways, don't do it on the street. And wear your gear, cause nobody listens to me anyways.

yeah they do it in Nascar.

wha bout that super motard bikes that race on dirt/ tarmac they use those fatty rears and kinda drift. i think there is a model from kawi? like 440 CC?

he does it on his cbr on the street with the rear brake i think 

[aaronstj]

Judging from bicycles, if you start a tight turn and jam on the rear brake, it should skid out impressively.  You'll probably kill yourself, though.

And seriously, don't hurt yourself, dude.  We're all worried about you.

i can only do it in the wet with the gs. the little gs is a little to heavy and a little to gutless to to it safely,
if you are gunna do it, learn on a dirt bike and get a feel for it before you do it on tarseal, if you gain traction half way through your drift and can't hold the bike down you'll end up high siding, which is never a good look. good luck wear you gear.

Oh i get it now.  I had to put my brain in idiot mode.  Nah I just dont like squids who make my insurance go up.  Ok i lied I do like one squid in particular.

Wow those pictures are confusing the hell out of me.  Tad and AJ, if that was your intention, well done.   

I remember Bob Broussard mentioning how he did a fair bit of flat track (dirt) racing and how learning how to control rear-wheel slide was helpful when racing on tarmac and taking your bike to the limits of its handling.  That said, learning to drift on tarmac is probably unwise.

But then again drifting on tar will give you instant feedback as to weather your drifting or gripping
