After Snotty Snett, I'm convinced I need to hang off more and dump my Hailwood sit up and beg style.

I grabbed a destructor at Snett and he showed me how to wedge my offside leg between tank and peg, rest offside forearm on tank, shuffle bum across seat by a bum cheek's width and stick my knee out. He also showed me how important it was to drop the inside shoulder and move upper body outside of the fairing line toward the inside of the turn.

Anyway, I tried all of the above - which is why my times were slow as heck and it felt 'orrible. Not in control of the bike at all. Everybody says it will get better and I'll gain the confidence, but it's a long time till the next track day and I want to think about this and get my head round the technique over winter.

Anyone got anything to add to the above? Any alternative techniques? Felt the same out of control feeling? Be interesting to read the comments from those of you who have mastered the art.
