    Had a lowside, no help from TCS?

    After reading more about trail braking I am glad it was mentioned here. While I have been riding for many years, I don't ride hard but there are many times where I wanted to just drag the brakes a bit coming into the turn. Its that mental thing - what if... I was told/read when I first...

    Had a lowside, no help from TCS?

    I guess like many mistakes, after it happens you realize how stupid it was to have it happen. I was riding very, very leisurely and for some unknown reason on the corner exit I just decided to goose it and go "zoom". Checkswrecks, I guess you are an engineer? While I am a chemical engineer...

    Had a lowside, no help from TCS?

    Thanks for the insight. I definately am learning from this mistake. I am generally the slower rider in my group and my riding habit is to brake before the turn (usually finding out I could have gone faster), not trail brake, and then heavy on the throttle on exit to make up for lost corner...

    Hello from North Alabama

    Hey gang, My name is Ben and I live in Hartselle Alabama. I have been riding since I was tall enough to tip toe a 70's Yamaha GT80. Fast forward 30+ years I have finally picked up my second Yamaha, a 2013 Super Tenere. I really like the big adventure bikes, having owned a Vstrom 1000 and a...
