Fast sweepers or slower tight curves - Page 2

Rider · 11-18-2009, 08:44 AM

I like my roads like I like my women.. tight and curvy.

as tight as possible, i feel more natural riding fast slow. Places like the skyway always scared me because riding at that speed for that long never felt right to me.

I guess it depends on what I'm riding at the time. I'd take the Skyway over the Gap if I'm riding the Duc, and vice-versa if I'm on the KTM.

I prefer the tight stuff. I don't even really do sweepers. Ill go balls out in a tight corner, and pussy my way through sweepers.

My logic is, going down at 60 beats going down at 120.

Tight and technical.

I know, I know, both are too fast for the street

Well, this is how I would define fast versus slow. Granted 50-70 is not slow when you are going through a turn like most down there but slow in relationship to 100-130.

My CBR likes the tight stuff, the Ducati likes the sweepers. I prefer the tight turns on the street. 120mph curves make me think about them too much to enjoy them on the street. Memory tells me that sweepers are quite a rush on a track, but that was a long time ago. They would probably terrify me now. Although turn 12 at RA always had my full attention but that was because I was seeing that big red clay wall in front of me most of the way through it. I think they have moved it back since then.

Tight stuff of course. Sweepers would mean I'd have to be on a highway. Yuck.
