Weekend is coming up and I will have my bucket out :headbang:

I'm fat (like WINJA) and the bike is slow (like all Suzuki's) in the straights compared to some of the others. So I want to know / ask some of the more experienced racers what are the best methods for holding your position in the straights.

At the moment I'm just riding wide on someone elses line (into or out of a corner) or using my good looks to blind them.

I'll be doing my best to crash if anyone wants a laugh :woohoo:

Be faster on to them mate!
Thats just not some smart assed remark either, in racing the straights are just there to join the corners together. Good corner speed helps overall speed on the straights and laps times generally.
Work on your cornering and the straights will take care of themselfs.
