    Are you committing corner crime?

    One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is just not the same... now it's time to play our game

    Last weekend's practice session.
    Some of these corners are okay, and some are oh-so-wrong.
    Can you spot the difference, and why?

    (If you can be bothered that is!)

    the only difference i can see is where they are looking, some are looking where they should be going, others are looking where they are going

    Gamgee and MTrousers are on the money, but there's more to it than that. Look closer...

    You're not using Yamuda fairings?

    Only thing I can see is you're using 2 different styles. One style you get more weight on the inside of the bikes centreline, but the other style you have more control over the bars because your inside shoulder is still roughly inline with your inside hand.

    In A&C, the weight remains on top of the bike, The other pics tend to show the weight getting alot lower centre of gravity, thus more stability.
    Did the dude fall asleep on his tank in A&C photos?

    My, what strong legs you have, holding up a bike on an angle like that standing still!
    actually, Im jealous - maybe Yamuda fairings would help me get me knee down?

    Is it to do with having your body on the wrong side of the bike? In C, the legs are over in Pusan, but the head & body's in Seoul?

    The rider in the last two pics is not indicating to signal intent and since it looks like you are not on private property, I suspect the road code still applies

    Good points about getting lower for lower center of gravity/more grip and less lean angle.

    Keep 'em coming, I'll explain in more detail soon...

    Here's one more with a little extra lean from a different angle.
