Well the list is endless, right? My environment in it's entirety, my inputs in their entirety, my increasing fatigue and need to preserve energy as the miles stack up, lane positioning and everything that goes with it, etc. etc. All I'm saying is that it's all one big compromise, when you gain something here you often lose something there and that needs to be balanced out. We should be careful not too put too much weight on one consideration alone, especailly on the street.
Street riding is complicated and can't be boiled down to any one measureable indicator of success such as lap times. That's one of the things I love about the track...it's all about railing, period.
Hopefully the above answers both of your questions....
:thumbup: But alas, there are varying degrees of hanging off as mentioned above....if you're just leaning in there a little bit, you don't have to compromise too much elsewhere.
I can't really disagree with any of the above but I can't say I fully agree either. Street riding is just too dynamic. I think the quote in my signature sums it up....just do as the conditions call for (of course some people are more risk adverse than others).
Hanging off on the street compromises some of MY fun on the street...how about them apples?
