Story time: Yesterday was the first time at a track for me and I gotta say... Wow, I'm in love. After years of riding, I will never know why I didn't do this sooner.
The question: So I'm coming around a left turn getting pretty low and my kickstand just grabs the concrete and scares the crap outta me, so I straiten up, and ride "calmly" into the grass off the track. After some self realization, I realize that my body position is all outta wack and that I need to be more off the seat and "making out" with the mirror with my body low and into the turn more. So I start working on body position and getting pretty low again and the kickstand grabs again off another turn and the same thing happened to his FZ too. My question is, if I took the kickstand off to acquire more lean angle, would that put me into a more dangerous position where there wont be any grip left and that is the only thing keeping me from low-siding? Or can I go without?
