ooh nearly forgot........i thought you were one of those against track riding....

wasnt being touchy, just asking for your experience as well as the pi$$ taking

and wheres the against track riding come from?! confusing me with someone else there.

trouble is, it feels really odd hanging off, always has, and I guess in the back of my mind there is the thought it will just fall over (especially at roundabout speeds) and now I'm back on a sports bike, I want to work on improving my riding, especially on track. Rehearse the right habits

You have to ask why its required to hang off and what the reason and benefits are!!

.........and at a low speed roundabout its not......in fact probably at all roundabouts ............. except when you want to make a poxy video.......
