You got me going with your extremist handling adventures and bring up a very sore point of mine, the more race oriented the more ya cam press and the more ya can press the wilder weirder pilot must try to control. Peel is so different than anything else I've tried to kill myself on, just couldn't lean far enough steering sharp enough or over power enough to break free of ordinary counter steering ease/sane security to point she'd literally pull a sideways wheelie off frame fouling lean to aim and land very sharp w/o much of my attention or effort. This is when I 1st got dimmed tunnel vision of blood drain - to have to lock breath into upper neck/head before pulling trigger d/t strong re-coils or next instant road details blurred and bluff face zooming up so fast eye lens could't refocus fast enough. I've many crashes in many activities too fast to see well but never doing it on purpose before. Peel really did out race both crashes into control range and faster than fear can follow the glee orgasms which also projected my point of view ahead of me like yogis, fighters and crash victims.
That's Phase 3 energy transition and never once slipped up in most dangerous bluff face road around. This allows accelerating all the way through a crazy decreasing radius turn up hill down hill and wrong way banked.
Flabbergasting solo flings 'll never get out of my bones. I think Peels dampered flex w/o rebound somehow absorbs road wind and my own interferes plus Norton getting it pretty right with bike length, CoG and 27' front rake/trail. After skill to prep for insane grip Peel could develop in P-3 i found if I got to fouling wheelie point and cut throttle rear hooked to twist up about inch worth to snap a hi side off rear tire to fly up twisting in air to land at correct lean to finish pop upright, in line with next aim point. No sense of using fork to steer at all. but a twist of the wrist effort [on top fighter pilot grunt], so staying rather loose on bar so they just did their own thing w/o me, thank goodness. We'd land on smashed down rear patch spring back that'd hook up front lifting power leap at next am point so nil to no effective front traction but going straight after touch down pop up not needed. I call this Phase Four. The CoG must pivot around my navel level both vertically and horizontally so no sense of sideways force to be flung off, uncanny UFO like, but is felt as all forward acceleration aimed down spine into rear patch so much I must assume drag racer crouch, low deep and close or Peel run out from under, so that's how I learned to stay on the breath taking flings. Forks must full slap like a sail boat boom in a tach.
This is how I hope to tackle flat track like nobody else as hooks up lots better than THE Dry Grit. I got to see pilot on winning Norton essentially doing that twice through the wide sweeper, so only needs done at early entry and late exit apex so mostly a straight upright drag race across most the sweeper. There is just no way to entry turns this hot-hi energy w/o sliding right off the tangent or snatching instants of crash like hook up to launch and release that energy in direction you want it too. Flat trackers and speedway ice racers have no brakes and don't back off turns, so only raw desert racers awe me more.
A slipper in those states freaks me out on lost of rear control even for a blink yikes. Worse states for me to get any cycle in is trail braking loading front tire side while leaned which unloads rear so engine drag can hop skip slip it out of control - so if a cycle benefits by a slipper its not Peel level to pick a fight with. We did as deadly fast as any racers out here so very quickly only dealt with those with messed up knee pucks and nil chicken strips and pow wow ahead of time to keep ego insanity controlled. I want to direct attention where Peel put mine, on the effect of the double 2 plane hinge of stem to axle plane to gravity and rear thrust. This is whats moving in weave or wobble, some angles with rear thrust will tend to fold bike up which forces hinge down to inside ground - some angles with rear thrust will unfold bike opening hinge angle feeling like hand of god holding you up while rear should be snatching a low side. If the frame can flex some the tires can separately follow & hold road better w/o frame over controlling them. Stand next to bike and twist forks to see its opposite leverage on rear tire, then roll forward by pulling frame not forks with a bit of lean say L while counter steer a bit to R, then on same L lean turn forks into the turn and feel the difference. Its the push on frame w/o pushing on forks that reveals the dynamics. Put drag force on that dual plane hinge and effects reverse. Going in/out of this state when cycles are in between falling over on their own or needing a bit of help, snatches forks this way and that dropping and lifting till can flop off the deck or smack down sliding tail first. Good bikes sport steering dampers :> bad ones shun them.
