Son of the Mad Dog; Three Sisters Advice

Thanks everyone for the advice! I'll be sure to take things at my own pace. I have a small reputation for "under driving" my vehicles, was always accused of driving the old Rx-8 like a granny :shrug: While I think "motorman" probably has some solid advice and technique, he really seems to have a Harley Davidson personality.
 
Life is good ride your ride! Every other person can just F.u.c.k. off!!!!!. Looked at the elevation map to judge the curves/ride can't point out how close it is to Illinois SUCK ROADS
 

Rick,
Better to approach a lefty from the fog line or right wheel track and apex near the center line.
Controlling the throttle of our torgue monsters in a twisty is very difficult for me.

Now let's say, making a right turn where you can't see in front of you is very scary for me.

Always control and set your entry speed into a curve on how far ahead you can see approaching vehicles - NOT on the curve's critical speed.

Sorry Maestro, no compredo. What is the fog line. What do you mean by abd apec? Anthony say the best way to control the throttle is to keep it wide open

Tell Anthony that WFO is not usually practical in a twisty.
Fog line is the white line at the outside of a lane.
Apex, in our terms, is the transition from entering a curve to exiting it.

Curves...





Straights...





Wide F'n Open coming out of a turn...

 
To tell the truth though, my "massaged" Super Duke R is almost never beyond 35% throttle. Winding to red line in 1st & 2nd puts it well over speed limits in most areas of the country and real close to west TX speed limits(and there are 4 gears to go). Or, the front end comes up and I don't want to loop it
 
I have ridden the sisters once a few years ago and only recall the surface can be a bit rough. One thing I have not seen mentioned is the condition of the surface and possibility of gravel or sand on the road. I’m always conscious of what the surface is like for traction or lack there of. Road debris is common on the shoulders, in the center of the lane and on the road center line. Know what you are driving on. Ask Steele.

Have a good time.
