Crossing train lines

[Blurr]

wont help when the contact patch of the tyre is reduced because of the lean angle.

Straight line and having the tyre on the bit where water dispersion grooves exist would be the best in my books.

No good having constant throttle whilst in lean then you rear tyre hits the slippery metal and decides not to follow the path of the frot tyre. What does CSS teach you then?

Agree entirely best thing is to be upright on the tracks and keep your speed down, I was discussing the throttle technique ONLY. This is how the technique section could turn into a shit fight

what shit fight? Isnt it all about experience and discussion?????? Prehaps I just cant quote theory as well therefore I should stay out

Upright as much as possible. Little to no throttle.

Experience helps!!

When the water's washing across the exit of T5 at EC how many people stand the bike up before they hit the water? I know wet train tracks are more slippery but in the dry they shouldn't be that much of a bother?

Edit: It also depends on the gaps/bumps in the surface along with the train tracks, what's it look like???

Yes but I can around the outside of you in turn 2,'so as per the underlining heirachy of this site I can speak freely.

Oh and I have had my full licence for more than a year

To much faith held in Keith Code teachings being gospel

I think the problems will be more when the front lets go. Things can happen quickly.

off topic a bit:

but for some reason i thought there road laws in the eastern states that specify the maximum speed you can cross train lines?

- which would have been for safety reasons.

from memory there's an 80kph limit on country level crossings. believe the buggers enforce them with speed cameras.

Problem is that there are no train lines crossing any track I know so that technique wouldn't apply here.

Was looking for a pic of Graeme Crosby pulling stand over a set of train tracks in a NZ road race , but couldn't find it and got distracted

Just get your arse off the seat and stand the bike up like a double apex as you come to said train lines...
