    I usually do this - a snake taught it to me. The rear brake sort of steadies things and the throttle on sort of pulls you through. Throttle just sort of steady though balanced against the speed - just so the rear wheel isn't driving the engine. Then at the apex, brake off and throttle on.

    They all do it - settling the bike in and out of corners is a basic learners technique.

    ...on the track, not recommended practice on the road. too many things can go wrong!
    Motorbike only search
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - CRC AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE CRC. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
