Look'in good man. You have never let somebody else ride your bike? Me and my buddies switch up sometimes, especially on long trips.

actually... before on my 1000, i let my MSF classmate park it for me since he wants to try it. i told him not to try anything daring and he has experience.

but now... i don't think i'll let anybody ride her unless i trust and know them well enough.

regarding switching bikes... im running GP shift and im used to it. it'll be confusing to go back and forth between normal and GP shift.

I don't think he has let anyone else ride his motorcycle, but i think he meant why would he put a pic of someone else riding his ride on in his signature.

Yeah, I would definetly not let anybody ride my bike unless I knew them.

so i look where i want to go, which is the other side of hairpin turn. but when i do look over there... i end up too close to the dbl yellow line on left hand hairpins or i end up very close to the curb on right hand hairpins. either way, i always end up correcting myself mid turn.

any tips?

Try slowing down.

Hanging too far off the bike will also do that, you shifted your arse too far. If you are running, not too fast, should not be on hairpins, try staying on the bike and pushing on your pegs.
