..anyway....let's not derails Bradders' thread...

You can teach people lines, braking points, bike setup etc. But I am a firm believer in figuring out the positioning thing for yourself. If you look at the top racers many of them have styles that are unique to themselves and which you won't find covered by a text book or riding class.

I hope you have a box of mansize there ;)

Yep...very different regimes. But then again, I seem to be one of the few people who think that track riding doesn't teach you much about road riding :lol: I've had a few arguments about that as well!

That'll be more by luck that judgement on your behalf then ;)

Hey Bradders, the 848 is a great bike for hanging off.

I Jelled with it straight away.

Just get your bumb to one side & its easy to knee down without too much lean angle, especially a damp barn corners as here... But remember to hold the tank with your left leg.
