Zitat von andygriff im Beitrag #57 The kiss the mirror concept is illustrative rather than literal. You don't get anywhere near kissing the actual mirror. :) It's intended to promote getting your heavy head and torso to the inside of the turn to allow the bike to be more upright for a given radius of turn. It also promotes turning your head and chin to the inside of the turn so you are looking through the corner. I think it's a useful mental image (but each to their own). By way of example, the attached picture is an illustration from Cornering Confidence by Street Skills LLC. The chap on the left is doing the kiss the mirror thing, the middle rider's neutral, and the guy on the right is riding crossed up. |

All very interesting but completely unnecessary. You won't see any police riders kissing anything and they are rapid and safe . I think you're over thinking it.

I though Code's reaction was astonishingly measured given he'd found someone on Youtube undoubtedly breaching his copyright...
