Afraid to lean in sharp corners
@Daniel Tolomei Today I was driving on a road 70km/h, and I needed to take a sharp 90 degree turn to a sideroad. I was focusing on my mirror to the traffic behind me and for Some Reason I had my clutch Pulled IN … while trying to turn right, i started panicking , tried front brake , then i realised my clutch was pulled in and i released it … and i almost hit the left curb (the spacer in between 2 roads) and almost fell… somehow i managed it and did not fall but it really annoys me that I am not able to just take this turn …. I think I am Maybe afraid to let the bike lean, afraid to fall over ? I have attached A photo of the situation , what speed should u take such corner safely ?

If you know "racing lines" you can use that knowledge to help with turning a motorcycle on sharper turns for example for this right turn start as far left as you can (in the proper lane of course) and try to make the straightest line possible for that turn

Emergency Braking Practice
I do emergency braking practice whenever I get time on weekend. At speed 40kms/h, I gently apply the rear brake and front brake simultaneously. The harder the front brake the lighter the rear brake. Today I notice one thing, I can stop my bike by 15.5 feet to 16 feet. But whenever I use only the front brake then I can stop the bike less than 15 feet. What is the cause of this? Can anyone narrate please.

Just a question does your bike have abs if it does force it to active that way you know what it feels like when it does so it doesn't surprise you in a real life situation

Depends on the obstacle if it's a smallish pot hole aim the front tire to the right of it and once you miss it turn to the left to essentially make the pot hole pass between both rear tires thats what I'm thinking of

Direct Steering VS countersteering slow speed
What is actually the proper method for slow speed cornering under 30km/h ? Some ppl tell me that under 30km/h you need to direct steer, and above you should use countersteering. Other people told me I should always countersteer (what I’m doing right now) but I am wondering if maybe that is the issue of why I’m sometimes not taking my turns correctly?

@Gert Massaer when I do figure 8s in the parking lot it's always under 20kmh and it's all direct steering and you definitely need to counter weight and just let the bike dance under you

@Gert Massaer so when you turn the bars to the right and the bike leans to the right your body should be in an upward position kind like this | you / bike Idk if that makes sence but yea lol

Not even a "my bad" 🤦♂️
At about 5 secs in the video I could already see the truck moving and by that time had my front brake covered

@Daniel Tolomei luckily from my vantage point I saw the roof of the truck inching forward and thought yea he's not gonna see me
