one i like was from a now retired ex sgt major who did basic driving instruction up to a few years ago.....he said "think soapy tits!" then made a gesture with his hands as if to demonstrate ease and squeeze. slow on slow off!

worked for me!

Thanks for those tips. Interesting, Rushjob about the thicker clothing thing. I hadn't thought of that at all. But now that I do, when I'm in my summer leathers on the 996 I feel like I'm part of the bike. When I'm on Minnie head to toe in warm winter clothes, I'm just riding. Hmmm. Will bear that in mind.

Andy, the 'soapy tits' analagy doesn't really work for me but I can convert it to something that will
