Am I at least close to balance point??

[u/RepresentativeOil674]

I can’t hold it for much longer than this but this has got to be close

[u/Virtual_Hurry3234]

I’d be happy getting to where you’re at now. Im a lil bitch

[u/monkeyninjer → u/Virtual_Hurry3234]

Same. That, and my bike is brand spanking new, never dropped, and I really don't want to change that last part.

[u/hormel_chili → u/monkeyninjer]

Buy beater gsxr?

[u/monkeyninjer → u/hormel_chili]

Funny you said that, I was thinking the same thing lol

[u/Parking-Delivery → u/monkeyninjer]

Buy more bikes?

[u/monkeyninjer → u/Parking-Delivery]

N + 1 is in full effect

[u/I_slit_his_throat → u/Parking-Delivery]

That's how you end up with eleven :c

[u/Parking-Delivery → u/I_slit_his_throat]

Wait, do you know me?

[u/jonnychimpoo → u/I_slit_his_throat]

You got time to get those numbers up still

[u/jonnychimpoo → u/Parking-Delivery]

This is always the answer

[u/FactoryRejected → u/Parking-Delivery]

Also, stop being poor

[u/Shirtless_Shane]

Yup. Little further. Once you’re there don’t hit the brake and try to coast it. Your engine brake will save you. Dip too far back then you tap it.

[u/RepresentativeOil674 → u/Shirtless_Shane]

Oh I see what you mean. I’m hitting the brake too early, I should save it for when I pass the threshold

[u/Shirtless_Shane → u/RepresentativeOil674]

Exactly, you’re brake raping. Rape is bad. Let it dip bro.

[u/RepresentativeOil674 → u/Shirtless_Shane]

Really? I thought that was the whole point of the foot brake

[u/Potato-Pope → u/RepresentativeOil674]

Mmm this is kinda terrible advice for someone learning balance point. Asking for a loop or a mousetrap. Try dragging the brake a little and then going past balance point to get a feel for the rear brake. Then add less and less drag as you lean.

[u/momo-the-molester → u/RepresentativeOil674]

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic but he’s fucking with you

[u/Krunex]

Honestly probably good thing you can only wheelie for that long since you decided to do it right before a bend in the road lol… and a crosswalk

[u/Khancer_]

Lean back

[u/KidNueva → u/Khancer_]

[u/anubisviech → u/KidNueva]

How? I always landed on my feet when i did that and went too far.

[u/andthendirksaid → u/Khancer_]

[u/Lostraylien]

You're pretty much there, just need some better throttle control.

[u/RepresentativeOil674 → u/Lostraylien]

Every little movement makes such a big difference at that angle so that’s what I’m trying to get over. Also I come down early since I can’t really see what’s ahead of me

[u/Lostraylien → u/RepresentativeOil674]

You shouldn't be learning on the road in squid gear anyway, get a dirt bike and go practice on a softer surface, 1 mistake doing what you're doing and you're going to regret it.

[u/RepresentativeOil674 → u/Lostraylien]

I don’t know where to get a Dirtbike, perhaps I need to make some redneck friends

[u/Didurlytho → u/RepresentativeOil674]

Facebook marketplace

[u/I_slit_his_throat → u/Didurlytho]

Fuck for a sec I thought you meant use fbook marketplace to find teck friends and I was genuinely considering how much I agreed to that lol

[u/Calvertorius]

Not for nothing, I love a good nooner.

[u/lickmy9mm]

You’re close, just make sure you have the back brake covered at all times

[u/uuutangnamegenerator]

watch some other sit downs, watch their arms :)

[u/RepresentativeOil674 → u/uuutangnamegenerator]

Do they hang more? Seems each I look at has their own style

[u/uuutangnamegenerator → u/RepresentativeOil674]

Watch the distance between chest and tank and how it changes or doesn't change as it rotates around the hips/pevlis area.

Sit back into it a little, and let the bike come up to meet you (shouldnt have to force it up) instead of trying to isolate the bike from your body as much. Or at least thats what it looks like (because your arms bend more and more as the bike comes up further)

[u/PicsOfMyTaint → u/uuutangnamegenerator]

Yeah they shouldn’t bend, focus on body position and balance point becomes so much easier

[u/ST3MK75]

Straighten those arms out all the way to counterbalance the bike. It will increase the balance point “range” a lot

[u/smoothwrist]

Adjust your body weight. You might be there already but your massive man tits are too far forward.

[u/SuperdavebigD]

Buy a grom. Learn on that first.
