Wheelying out of corners...
...has become a common occurrence for me on the big bike (guess my ham-fisted nature is resurging in this form).
Anyone else using this phenomena to "line up" their exit trajectory? S'kinda cool that you can 'steer' it. Anyone have any notes? Similar experiences? |

But, I am talking about when my CBR is coming on the power and the rear is hooked-up and responding traditionally, then lifts the front as I'm on the gas out of the apex. |

it scared the crap out of me the first time it happened. Making a left, starting to straighten out and got on the throttle. I didn't realize the front was off the ground until it came back down those few inches and the steering damper did it's job or it would have been a bad situation
