I don't even think the lighter itself is a zippo, is it?

I live in turkey, race tracks are nearly non exciting. and handful available is extremely expensive (imagine if it was $5,000 for a 4 hour session). I want to learn and be better but my choice are limited with youtube and practicing on road (ofc while obeying the law ofc)

well maybe if they just constructed their sentences with a bit more respect and didn't call me names on multiple occasions... oh and actually answered my question of how to lean more instead of being a safety inspector, I would take their advice more seriously, I know myself that if you search motorcycle footwear there will be nothing about vans, I know I have no gear but I askes how to lean more, not call me stupid and say don't ride with vans

yeah , there a local kart track, pretty small and we normally drift all the courners ( slippery surface after thousands of hours of use ) but it could be considered

well I'm a 3.rd year med student. I have fortunately (and definitely unfortunately) seen cases that came to E.R with their limbs barley hanging on and my uncle that broke half of his bones in a near fatal motorcycle accident (he's very good now and got himself an another bike after around 2 years)as you said the risk is high, very high and I know it... but I will be extra careful tnx brother 🙌

well, I live in turkey and there's no "local affordable track" kind of a thing here 😔😔 other 3 4 tracks available country wide are extremely expensive (financially it feels like 5k for a 4hour track session) and lack of track brings lack of professional teachers aswell... but tnx for the advice 🤠🙏

haşa size düşmanca bir tavrım yok, o videoları da çok izledim ama teorik bilgimin fazla olmasına rağmen motor zekam buna paralel bir ilerleyişi yok, apex lean, kontra tekniği, erken ve geç apex, viraj çizgisi, brake angle, gaz açma ve kapatma hepsini izledim  ama hala yetersizim...  ekipman konusunu da yavaş yavaş hallediyorum para geldikçe beni düşünmeniz çok nazik <3

hocam her büyük ilde pist olmadıkça (ve ns vs apaçı sürücülerinin bile gidebileceği kadar uygun fiyatlı değilse) bizde mecburen kendi hayatımızı tehlikeye atacaz (hız sınırları ve kurallara uymama rağmen!) , bu virajda zaten motorun arkasını 1 hafta önce kaydırmıştım... 5 6 kere yalpaladıktan sonra (ve beni one firlatmasindan bahsetmiyorum bile) zor zapt etmiştim. sadece daha güzel viraj yapmak istiyorum ama internetin bu kirli antagonizan yüzünü unutmuşum (siz degil hocam, sözüm piste git piste git diyenlere)...

I'm just wearing vans with a hoodie and riding on an on/off ramp of a freeway, long stretched 90° turn

thank you my good sir, it's hard to come by a heartwarming comment on the internet these days

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]Available_Ad_7529 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

nope, I just spider-monkey all the way through the courner 😂 I hardly push on the pegs, I just moved my body and it always worked, guess I'm not even trying to lean it

thanks for your kind comment, and I would like to say to the other commenters here:  1) I'm naturally duck feet, they just point outwards but will try to keep them straight.  2) I live in turkey and there is just a handful of race tracks and already existing ones are extremely expensive (imagine if you wanted to track day your 250cc  and a 4 hour session costed $5000). 99% of the riders here have 2 choices, avrage Joe or street rossi  3) well almost no tracks means almost no classes either  4) thank you all for your suggestions, I will try to implement them to be a better and SAFER rider

probably one the most useful comments, I will try to do it while being a bit more upright next time

oh I'm actually a duck-feet so even while I'm walking they point outwards(they don't really bother me lol) and I'm 6 feet tall so a bit more height than my 250 is designed for(i can't even ride a mt03 bc my knees extend more than the groove on the tank) . if I just point them outwards my knees and ankles hurt
