thespikeyone Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 As it's scott weekend I was just wondering if there is a secret to riding fast across the hill??? Having just ridden the lakes and the ssdt a couple of times there are alot of riders who just seem to float over the moors, I try my best at going faster but just end up having a tank slapperor or coming off. How do they do it?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billycraig Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Keep the front light, keep the speed up and look well ahead..or get a smaller bike so you feel like your going faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can never sleep before the Scott, get far to wound up/nervous. Never tried the painkillers beforehand yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boofont Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 they set to plus 10 on the technics You must know all about the legendary 1210 then, but +/- 8 % to be accurate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robarnold Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Keep it singing in low gears, weight back and arms nearly straight to keep the front light. Never ride in the rut of the rider in front, you will sink. Oh, and having a 4RT does help too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
