did you watch it?
I spotted this ages ago, it is most awesome and highly recommended. After watching this all of a sudden hanging off the bike felt so much righter.
that is fantastic....

thanks for that Goldie! [thumbsup]

well finally, a bit of sunshine today in Sydney! got out and tried what the video(well, the first one is the only one I've watched so far...) told me to do...
i have to say the whole shifting your hips thing works really well, you just naturally move into a better position on the bike and it feels good.
Great post Goldfish!

Sure did ! [thumbsup]
I got this stuff from a school I did with Keith Code at Phillip Island, when he came out a couple of years ago. ;D
Makes cornering a breeze and stabilises the bike cos the human isnt jerking it around anymore, so long as the throttle is kept on to settle the suspension. ;)
We got to the point of holding onto the bars with two fingers and the thumb and it felt controlled and very precise. [thumbsup]
And, no more arm pump. ;D
Thanks GF.
I liked to hear it described in a different way to that which I have heard it at Cali Superbike School.
There's always something to learn. ;)
+1, thanks GF. Did something similar at my motovation course
