well, im not new to riding or anything. but i would like opinions befor i take this ride.
well there is a canyon ride ive been wanting to take for along time now, but there is this mile strech that has a sharp decline and its pretty twisty.
what would be the best way to take this decent?
to give you a idea on how steep it is. well if your driving a car down this hill you NEED to ride the brakes all the way down while taking the turns otherwise your speed just picks up like a mad man.
thanks guys :thumb:
I would think about 120mph will surely be slow enough for you.. probably too slow for me though. :)
I'm not sure if this is the best way, but when I am going downhill I am generally not clutching to slow down. I use a low gear to keep my speed low. Maybe someone will let me know if this is bad for the tranny or something.
ride at a pace that is comfortable for you and in a gear that will keep your speed constant (meaning it'll rev up high between turns and drop as you brake).
actually if its your first time there ride at a pace well below what is comfortable, to accommodate the unknown.
Take it easy and put it into a much lower gear than normal so the
engine braking will do much of your braking.
commute down it, Ride back up it, then charge back down :thumb: :cheers:
fast enough to have fun, but slow wnough that the half rack won't fall off the tank, this will also test how smooth are.
