twist of the wrist

So far, I have not finished the book from keith code, but I have gleaned 2 very important things that I was able to see where I was doing things wrong on my bike. The 1 thing is throttle control. I seem to get a little scared if i'm too hot in a turn, and will often cut the throttle and pull in the clutch and drop a gear. Not good, I know now to keep the throttle open and lean more, the bike is far more capable than I am. The second is how tightly I grip the bars. Knowing that the bike is perfectly able to go along on its own with no input from me, as long as its going, clamping down on the bars makes the bike really unhappy. I wondered why my hands were falling asleep on not very long rides, and there we go. Being too tight on the bars also gives the bike bad information about what you want to do and can cause an accident. Ok, enjoy.
