Jarno Saarinen
For example mention the big change which suffered the piloting technique when over 70 years the Finnish driver Jarno Saarinen better known as the Flying Finn began piloting skimming the knee on the ground. Probably at that moment would not know because it towards but this gave him confidence and more cornering speed. Today day Physics shows us that with that we managed to lower the center of gravity and does not need to tilt both motorcycle. For all this, the art of driving is not an exact science. There may be two pilots who roll just as fast in a circuit of speed and each use slightly different techniques. Take a current example with the use of the rear brake.
There are many drivers who avoid using the rear brake. Some of them have managed to overcome Spain and Europe speed Championships. Others however use it not only to regulate entry to the curve speed but also to slow down once inside the same and being completely tilted. Because it makes it inside the curve? Because using the rear brake, we reduce the speed and movement of the masses is much lower than if did it with the gas or brake. Does not affect so much traction, suspensions and tires. Instead, excess pressure in the brake will lock the rear wheel and the pilot may suffer a fall. With all this try to explain that driving techniques should be required knowledge for any pilot well either competition or user of weekend and is the pilot who must decide each time whether to use it or not function of your practice and confidence.
Once assimilated the concepts always advised by professionals we must move to the practice. If you practice regularly all purchased will drive the bike with greater agility and margin of safety, made that will give you more likely to resolve a situation of danger and get away from it. That if this not must exceed never 75-80% of your possibilities since you then enter in a panic situation and retrocederias backward rather than forward on your driving. Logically as well as when you train in cycling or athletics the anaerobic threshold, that same percentage will make you shoot faster and more secure by booking the same margin of safety. But the knowledge not lifelong. The practice of the bike is like learning languages. If you are not practicing what you lose level. If you do not a small recycling from time to time not only you not advanced but it you go back in your handling of the motorcycle. We are not suggesting that you register in a course of driving every month or every year, though never this most continue with your driving practices. Simply mean that if you are not practicing the acquired earlier and at a pace close to that 75% you will lose part of the confidence and skill with your bike and you will cost increasingly more reaching these levels previously acquired. Logically you must never find those limits on the open road. There are approved speed circuits and you can always enroll in a driving course or a shot. Today day you can find a free circuit virtually every weekend in any area of Spain original author and source of the article.
