I learnt a few things today...

[GOONR]

It also gets more weight over the front wheel, which is a good thing when cornering. In any case, when in tight corners you should be leading with your inside shoulder, so if you're leaning forward a bit you're part way there.

Mr Goonr: practice arching your back in (forwards) - like you're sticking your gut out, and make sure your weight is supported by your knees gripping the tank, and by your core strength (abdominal and lumbar muscles). You should be able to sit on your bike with no weight at all on the bars. If you can't, then you need to build up your core strength and practice better posture.

Fark, I got a bike cause I'm a lazy bastard now your sending me off to the gym I will give it a go, not sure how I'm gonna stick out my gut. I am one skinny bugger. The first time I put on a wet suit I rolled around on the floor crying with laughter.... I looked like a burnt matchstick.

That forced me a lot more forward on the bike, I could feel the difference on my knee's. Totally transfered my weight away from anywhere near my arm's / wrist. So much so it took me a while to adjust. I found it turned in quicker on corners, roundabouts etc...

Nice one!!
