I will continue practicing.
    Thanks for the encouragement!!
    Nah Mrs K, dun need a sports bike to hang of it. once you get used to "hanging off" the bike cornering it with ya bum in the middle of the seat will feel a bit weird. You have a Honda Hornet yes?

    Ah yes....I see you do...havin your pipes coming up under the seat is good coz grounding them on the road tends to mess them up a bit. Don't forget those knee sliders betore the knee goes down otherwise it could be painful

    Thanks, will continue the practice, and I just got some leather sport pants from Quasi with Big Arsed knee sliders, so my goal is to try and scuff them up a bit!!

    Cool feet??

    I tend to scrape the pegs everytime I go out, not trying to - I need to learn to shift my weight a bit. My feet are so bloody big they scrape on the road all the time and I'm wearin my boots out. I try to ride with my toes up on the pegs now.
    I think a Bandit is prone to scraping?
    Lifes Just one big ride - buckle up or hang on
