Default #### Drifting a bike and "backing it in" to corner

Manage my first "drift" on Thurs night in torrential rain I exited a diesel covered roundabout, stood it upright and opened the throttle, revs soared and I was steering left for the right hander I kept the throttle where it was and as it came back I neatly took the left hander exit turn Now Im no riding god but this felt amazing!!!!

Can anybody do this on purpose in the dry (Rossi need not reply to this) and if so how hard is it at higher speed to get right??

And tonight leaving my mates street I back off top end 1st and the back end came round, I was immediately on full lock and dipped the clutch to bring it back in line, dropped clutch again but wheel was still locking up, ran wide just managing to avoid the kurb and continued my ride home. I like the idea of motorcross style riding, this brought back happy days of downhill MTB racing

Maybe I could buy a crosser and practice Hmmm
