Very confusing because, as written, it has a good number of very misleading statements. I wonder if that person just misunderstood or misspoke. But, whatever the case, it was 180 degrees off on several points. The subject can be confusing enough without adding more baggage to the concepts involved.

He would enter most all curves that were marked 35 MPH at 50 plus????? My back saddle mate was petrified most of the time and we did lag behind some of the time because it is quite different on the curves with 2 adults aboard versus one...
    Had a great time though...

    Were you in group 1 during the Flat Creek ride ... with Claude in the lead? If so, yes, he really does like to push it through the curves ... I managed to stick with him through most of it on the way back from Flat Creek (Claude on his F3 and me on my RT -- with sway bar and Elka shocks). I was not paying attention to speed, but am sure some of the 45 mph recommendations were tossed at 65 mph. Needless to say ... it was fun! I did back off after our leg stretch stop ... good thing; not only did I wear myself out, wore the RT out too -- check engine P0340 error, limp home. But was able to ride it all the way back to Lamont's and Harvey (Spyderpops) went above and beyond to fix (late on Saturday and he was already slammed).

    Sorry for the minor thread hijack ... one thing I will say that is germain to the topic. Since I am riding with tears in both shoulders (not bad enough for surgery), I find that PUSHING gently with the outside hand is easier / smoother than pulling with the inside (and it doesn't wear my shoulders out either). So, for a left hand curve:
    -- tuck your left knee against the tank
    -- press with the outside (in this case right) foot
    -- push, gently, against the right hand grip
    -- lean slightly forward and left

    With practice, this all becomes second nature -- you may even surprise yourself with how stable you really are on the spyder.

    All the best .... Ann

    Turning left, push the right handlebar away with a relaxed grip while leaning left with head just above left mirror looking through the turn keeping back straight and head vertical, inside of left knee bracing against the tank and with weight on your right foot. Do the opposite for turning right.
