Akion posted:detective said the bike was well and proper hosed (spraypainted, numbers filed off, etc...) This makes me real upset. Your sumo was perfect in every way, and there is no reason to ruin it so badly. It's not enough that they took something so nice that didn't belong to them, but they had to sully it in the most ignorant way possible. I hope they get curb stomped forever.

Only time I got pulled over on the xr400 tard was the day I bought it for the stupidly loud fmf titanium slip on. Cop threatened to impound the bike due to no insurance and suggested that next time I test ride, I just go get on I10 rather than ride around his little town. I ride like an old man on the streets. Well, like an old man who occasionally wants to go "fast". I'll be alright on the hooligan machine.

Are there any good articles or videos on supermoto riding technique? I feel like it's taking me awhile to adjust to riding one after riding a sport bike for so long and having no experience with dirt bikes. I'm not really sure what the proper riding positioning is or if I should be leaning in to turns or just pushing the bike down.

If you in California I suggest you check out SoCal Supermoto School. $230 - their bikes, their photos, instructor is cool as poo poo, etc. Get up on the front of the bike, push the bike down, foot out front by the radiator guard. You can definitely feel the difference between being up on the front vs out back. Yes, I was in the same boat as you when I took that school. loving total opposite of how I've always ridden but it was definitely fun.

Unfortunately I live in PA so that's not really an option. BlackMK4 posted:Get up on the front of the bike, push the bike down, foot out front by the radiator guard. You can definitely feel the difference between being up on the front vs out back. Should I still be leaning with the bike or should I be riding kind of crossed up?

Would you use the same type of position for long sweeping turns or just for the tight stuff? Also that gif is loving rad.

I live in the Chicago area, but I've thought about flying out to California in the spring to do this. Is it worth making a weekend out of (and the ~$1000 total cost with hotels and poo poo all said and done)?

I thought it was really loving cool - but I did it on a Monday so it cost $200 instead of $230 and there were only 5 other students - all of whom had roadracing experience in the past and there was no one else using the track all day. I probably wouldn't spent $1k on it... but as I say that I am considering flying and renting a Ninja 250/300 at Laguna Seca later this year and it comes out pretty close to $1k after flight, rental, trackday, etc. All comes down to priorities, I guess. But definitely try and go when there will be minimal other students.

Funny this topic came up, I've considered flying out to CA for the supermoto school. Call it a vacation and have fun. I wonder if anybody rents drz's or ktms out there so I could ride around for 3 or 4 days afterward. Would be loving awesome! Wouldn't be feasible to ship my bike but all SMs ride relatively the same...

I took a dirt riding class once and they said to just stick your leg straight forward, but you often see supermoto ridings dragging foot.

I took a dirt riding class once and they said to just stick your leg straight forward, but you often see supermoto ridings dragging foot. On dirt you can very easily catch you foot on something and bust your poo poo up bad, the terrain is very varied. On supermoto, it's pavement, put your leg wherever you have enough clearance and feels fine. There really is no hard and fast rule. You can ride SM style or Superbike style (hang off, knee dragging) all day every day and have a great time. As you spend time on a SM track you'll find that hanging off is loving exhausting and really doesn't feel necessary, and riding SM style will develop naturally because its what feels right. On public roads you'll probably never corner hard enough for it to matter unless your railing tiny round abouts or setup cones in a parking lot

Ride a supermoto however you want, it will be fine. If there is one bike you really don't have to worry about body position on, it's a supermoto
