Good topic and one that I'm acutely aware of after a slow Trackday at Croft today. I find myself trying to get the bike 'on its side' reasonably quickly but since I dont know the bike's maximun lean angle I seem to end up slowing down too much and using the lean that I need for my 'slower' speed.

I guess any new skill is hard to learn.

Still - things have improved...I can now take Sunny In/Out as one continuous curve instead of the 50pence garbage that I first did when I went to Croft, so I think theres hope yet !!!

Cheers - Frank

With no impute on the inside bar the bike would have run out before I wanted it to, so I was accelerating but still trying to hold the line in for long enough to make the exit.
I know what you mean about relaxing after the steering impute and rolling back on the throttle and the bike going were you want but round there it didn’t go were I wanted without this inside bar thing.


If it helps Eric, I had exactly the same thing at Snet but at Riches, not Coram. I really thought about it between the track day and qualifying to try and figure out why it was different to everywhere else and the only think I could think of was me being tense on the bike.

I made a huge effort to relax through there in the untimed practice and guess what - it stopped. It was me being tense on the bike. Only in Riches, nowhere else. Something about that corner was making me tense and it wasn't anywhere else.

Something to think about?
