GARY SEMICS RIDING TIP OF THE MONTH
Weighting the outside or inside Foot
Peg.

While
sliding through a corner with the inside foot out for the
corner you should be weighting the outside peg. How much
weighting? I call it pressure down on the outside peg. Not
so much that you hardly have any weight on the seat but
enough pressure that it's comfortable for you. Just 20
pounds of pressure makes a big difference. Taking 20 pound
of pressure off the seat and bars (high center of gravity
CG) and putting that 20 pounds to a low CG, big difference
for bike and body related handling and traction.
When you
are cornering through a fast slick corner and have both feet
on the pegs (sitting or standing) you can get an even lower
CG by weighing the inside peg. Just be sure you’re not
going to have to put that inside foot out for the corner.
It’s not important to weight either peg when cornering
through a berm (rutted corner) because the berm will hold
the tires from sliding out.
Develop
success from failure. Discouragement and failure are two of
the surest stepping stones to success. No other elements
can do so much for a man if he is willing to study and make
capital out of them.
