Opening up your shoulders to the outside of the turn vs. keeping them square with a dab of orientation to the inside. It's just sorta natural to get them when you are hanging off the bike- most street riders tend to try and 'hoist' themsleves to the bars making them look outside. They just kept laughing and telling em to get rid of my street shoulders.

I get off the bike before I get into the turn, that way I'm straight with the bike and prepared before I go in for the lean.

I wanna do a trackday on my new (to me) VMAX, actually learn to ride it hard through turns. It's like riding a bull moose, so I get nervous lol.

Yeah I actually read it before I started riding on the street- it was reccomended by a good friend of mine that rides a lot.

I just bought this VMAX off my Dad- not gunna lie, it's fun as hell to ride. It blows my mind how much power it has- if you whack the throttle in the first 3 gears it just spins the tire.
