Mood: Ride with me, Ground Shaking comes as standard..
it's good to see what different experiences and takes on the situation is.

I have looked at my photos from the comparative trackdays and i look a tad clumsy in the higher speed stuff, (i,m riding stretched at arms length which is not good for control in my opinion) i get the impression the bank angle isn't too bad and i wasn't getting left by the majority in the inters group on the faster stuff and the last time i went out on the bike i did start to try and apply some of my more throughly thought out ideas.

I relaxed my shoulders more and tried to bring the cornering side of of my body tighter together, this gave me a less stretched out arm and more feel and control giving me more "suspension" in the arm lets say, with more scope for counter steering. With the arm stretched out any tiny ovement would seem to be greatly eccentuated resulting a more out of control feeling. Ill post a pic and see what you guys reckon.. on some i look downright odd!! Like a little tiny person, alright im only 5-6" but i look like a hobbit on that one.
