[QUOTE="Gnirtsnod, post: 1330454, member: 89342"] This forum should be here to ask this type of question to get better at what we do, so I'm glad you asked and I look forward to meeting you out on the road. My hangup is right-hand switchbacks and yours is left-hand turns. In my case, it's a mental block - an unreasonable fear of not being able to make it - so I seek out the opportunities to challenge myself and haven't failed yet, but the fear is still there. Of course I ride an 850 pound beast, HD Ultra, and am just now looking forward to jumping on the FJR of my own. I will say that IF you are ever caught in that pucker position again, remember that the lean angle on the FJR is way more forgiving so rather than run off the road, push harder to lean into the curve more. Otherwise, prepare for the curve using some of the tips mentioned above. ...Don [/QUOTE]
