    Well. Straightening up out of a corner..?

    I don't actually think at all about what I do out of a corner - I guess it just happens. When it comes down to it, I just kinda "think" straight and there it is...not a lot of help I suppose in answering the question. A lot of it is to do with body position I reckon - I always let the bike do the work in corners - no input from the arms - a little movement of weight - a little positive countersteer when necessary no doubt...I just try to be smooth and allow the transitions to flow...

    Not making much sense today - brain is woolly with sore throats etc...

    yeah i neva think about straightening up afta a corner either, but i do concentrate hard going into it. You and me seem to be at about the same level of experience, my 2009 ninja is upto 200kms on speedo, woot!.
    hell of a bike. i have issues at the moment with how much im able to turn my head, it seems very limited.

    Just back went to Kaiaua and stayed there for a couple nights, just came back this avo. Awesome roads going the back way through Clevedon,not liking the rain too much today but oh well, so just took it nice and easy.

    Love leaning the bike over, but It does take a bit to pick it up and change direction (well not pick it up really cause I ain't dropped it yet , the slow twisty stuffs the best.

    Are you in Aucks mud? Could go for a ride sometime
