Thanks again!
At our level, gripping the tank with your knees is good advice. People "putting their knee down" are commited to their line in a corner and are going a fark of a load faster than thee or me - if they suddenly see a pothole on their racing line they have very little room for maneouvre. Don't try to put your knee down. Not yet anyway...and not on the open road.
And since you're on our side of the bridge why not join Mav on the next 250 run - loads of help, support and nothing to prove.
In space, no one can smell your fart.
