| If you're talking about wanting to ride fast then the key to that is comfort on the bike. You need to adopt a riding style and position that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed to the point where you are feeling no discomfort and positioning is not impinging on the job at hand - riding. This will allow you to concentrate properly.
What works for you might not work for someone else and in this case I really do think you need to figure this out for yourself. With all respect, you're a big lad so some skinny rake isn't going to help you with this. If you approach a corner and you're spending mental effort trying to position yourself in manner that someone else thinks is correct then you're not going to make the best job of that corner.
Compared to some people I barely hang off at all either on the road or on the track. This has both advantages and disadvantages, but it works for me. |
