Kinda how cold is just classified as a lack of heat.

Woldn't you agree, though, that there is a difference between just turning off the heat and shoving it in the fridge?

This technique is used once lean angle has been set. We are talking anywhere from a few thousandths of a second to a full few seconds. In terms of throttle, movement is very subtle not abrupt at all to minimize upsetting the suspension.

Two things that seem irrationally difficult for some people to grasp.

At any rate, I'm glad you posted this. Hopefully at least one person got something out of it.

I'd also be willing to bet everyone on this board has, at least once, decreased throttle to get through a turn they over-cooked or had to change their line to avoid an obstacle. And anybody that shot off the road as a result either slammed the throttle closed and/or sat upright on the bike when the decreased throttle.

I'm no guru but love to make others think, and love to pick other's brains when it comes to riding techniques etc...

yup... just as there's a difference between steering with the front wheel & steering with the rear... which is kinda what this thread was originally supposed to be about.
