Don't really see the interest in Roundabout surfing. I figured if I was going to get it down, it would be because I was going fast enough and getting it right for the corner
Think I know why I hadn't done it before though. Went out in my 1 peice last night, and I havent worn it for months cos its got no pockets etc for phone/wallet. Bought a Kreiger R3 so got somewhere for phone etc now, and got it down. Think my 2 peice was too tight (Hence the hole in the butt last time I went out,

)
I also sorted the front brakes out that were dragging real bad - Maybe that was why it felt like it was going to fold when entering a corner. lol
Feels great

- Giggled to myself like a little girl when I had done it

A sticking front brake will stop the bike turning in, effectively making the bike understeer and keeping it upright!
Once it happens, it only gets easier!
Make the most of it whilst you're on one of the best bikes for it, and welcome to the club!
