Hi everyone just thought I would post up and say hi, and kick off my posting with a quick Q
Just wondering how the hell do you entry slide into a corner?
is it comp lock or drag the rear brake when the back wheel is unloaded?

I go with the later as it is nicer on the bike and appears to be much smoother with little or no chatter

The next track day is Feb 3rd (I think)

How much are you spending on the bike do you think? I would go a Husky over anything else as a track/road if your going new. Warranty is a sweet thing!! Just make sure who ever you buy it off has a loan bike if it does break under warranty.
I broke a gearbox and am waiting for the new gearbox cases to come from Italy 1 month and counting!!!! I don't have other transport at the moment so I'm on my push bike now.

Aparently the real deal with getting the rear end out has to do with a combination of brake, down shifting, weight transfer and fanning the clutch to regulate it. I really have no idea myself, but that's what the peeps on SMJ seem to reckon anyway. I can tell you how to fall off one though :)
