Folsom, CA - Video

This is good advice. But having the option of slowing down to help tighten the corner should not be dismissed. In this picture, if I found myself going wide I would have closed the throttle to slow down and tighten my arc. Even at this lean angle I don't need to "maintain throttle" to keep from sliding out.

The trouble is beginners don't know how to roll of a throttle properly. When noobs are scared of going to wide, throttle gets closed completely, causing the weight of the bike to shift in a way that causes the loss of control. So I guess it can go either way; either teach noobs to eaaaaase of the throttle or to just roll on and push/look through the turn.

Again, wasn't my friend, I didn't exactly approve of the last minute additional riders. But not my place to say, that's why I insisted on being sweeper.

:facepalm

You set this ride up....I think you had a say in it.
 
Is that Lotus Rd? If it is, you don't really see it in the video but that's where it starts to climb up. It's a little daunting if you're a beginner.

1. Rider way too inexperienced, period!
2. Even if he showed up at the last minute, if y'all stopped in the middle of the ride to go over hand signals, then asking about riding experience/desired pace should have been covered also.

...as a noob here, the last thing I'm trying to learn right now is how to brake in a corner, because MSF scared the shit out of me by saying I'd probably die if I do that!! :laughing ...

I'm starting to see why many people dislike the way MSF is going about their business.

It was the Ridercoach and not the MSF that inspired that reaction.
