Cornering Techniques And Styles- How And Why?

[BigBikeBKK]

I love watching motards race- so many different styles, yet I can't tell which one works best...

When does one drift and when does one drag a knee? Sorry if this is a dumb question

Depends where you currently are most sore

The guy closest to the corner would smack his knee in the un-even terrain if he attempted to knee

Man I would never put my foot out on asphalt just dirt

But that is just me

It's all on the type of corners.

Quick hairpin type turns, stick a leg out, long sweepers knee down action.

But it's still a matter of preference to the rider. Whatever makes you feel comfy.

Drift is just a side effect of knocking down thru the gears.

You should have felt it on any of your bikes if entering a corner hot. A slipper clutch will help prevent it some.

Not dumb question at all It seems to me a mixture of styles, surfaces dictate which when watching the experts.
