But yet the same advice applies... keep your elbows up, don't tense your arms and hold it like a doorknob... not keen on doing that on a beach though...

DONT GO ON THE BEACH MAN,If weve learnt anything from this thread its keep away from the beach. Perhaps a little tough love is needed here, find yourself a nice quarry and practice corners there, none of that soft ass sand to ease into, just flesh tearing rocks to keep ya focused.
HOW DARE YOU SAY I HAVE A BIG PIPE
Sometimes I ride Slow, sometimes I Ride Quick, But When its Time To Get Busy Out The Hat Comes The Trick.
There is another way to look at your turning,I am left handed, and left hand corners are more of a problem for me than right hand, no matter what the surface conditions are. Afther 30yrs of racing and riding I have not been able to correct this problem.
Just in case anyone is interested... yeah prolly not, but anyway...
I've been trying to put advice into practice on the last two rides and I have to say... it's working!
The best advice from here is the way I've been holding the throttle, if I do the door knob thing, it allows me to then keep my elbows up, which then allows me to relax my shoulders more, so it all then works together to help me really drop the bike into right-handers.
What also helps is I've tried to make sure I'm as far forward on the bike as possible, something I seem to do naturally on lefts, but for some reason didn't with rights. That way I can get right over the bars and control where the bike is going, the rear then just follows suit (providing I'm not giving it too much welly).
Was akward unlearning bad habits at Woodhill a couple of weeks ago, but at Kimmy's on Sat it was all starting to come together.
So thanks all for the input, me very happy and appreciative.![]()
