Running wide on turns

[ohgood]

or that I'm getting more used to the bike, and the rider imputs it requires.

That's the winner right there.

The first time I rode my bicycle after having started riding motorcycles, I threw myself into a bush on the inside of the first turn.

LOL ya man ! I pressed a little to hard for a turn too, but there was grass, not a bush to cushion the error.   I can dig it.

+1 on tire pressure.
+1 on shifting body weight in turns.

Move your bum a little to the side you are turning into and the bike will respond to your request.  As another user pointed out make sure to look through the turn.

One thing I have noticed is that the GS front end skips a little during fast flicks through tight S sections of road or through round a bouts.  I push the bike hard like a sports (yes I know the GS is a commuter hehehe) bike through corners and besides the little skip that I am sorting out with ride position and corner approach the GS handles corners and turns the same as what my Triumph Daytona does.  Infact with the GS being half the weight as the Daytona I would put bets on that the GS would make the Daytona piss through any corner.  I just don't trust any of my mates with either bike to test the theory LOL
