Does it ever calm down?

[Av8er]

Well, I didn't get to ride on Saturday like I hoped due to being sick. Sunday I felt better so I went on a 100 mile ride and tried a lot of different things. I feel pretty comfortable now as long as I dont have to do an emergency swerve or any evasive maneuver. I am sure that will come as I put more time in the saddle. I did find that I wasn't planting my outside foot on turns; once I started planting it felt better. Then I tried both pushing and pulling on the bars for turns. I felt better only pushing through a turn versus doing both or just pulling. when I am just cruising I usually just rest my palms on the bars so I am not gripping too tightly. On bridges that have me turning I still get a little uneasy because when you go over a joint the bike kinda wants to dart so to speak. Its not that bad and I am in no danger of swapping lanes but its just noticeable. Other than that I had a blast!!!!

Look Ahead!(something you should always be doing!) look through the curve you will be much smoother, it takes practice, patience & trust to look where you want to be not where you are. That with pushing the handlebar into the turn you want, the other hand just resting, it's huge! Start slow it will come & you won't believe the difference!
