Turn in point.

Dan.....

Just got off my majestic throne, where I typically read my Rider magazine.

Was reading bout the ARC classes in the new Rider. I spent some time looking at the graph on turn points on left curves.


I notoriously always ride in either the #1 or #3 riding position, because I tend to be more comfortable in the left side of the lane... close to the centerline.

I consciously attempt to set up for left turns in the right half of the lane, but have to fight the tendancy to be too far left. I have a mental block on being too close to the right!

My right hand curves and turns are not a problem.

I've brought this up before I believe, so pardon me if I'm repeating.....


Staying left like I do is fine on the freeways and long sweepy curves, but for tight left turns it is not good!!!

Any advice on taking the best line so as not to have to adjust mid turn?

Thanks, Nico
