    The person I was behind on Woodcocks road riding the vtr 250?
    You have almost got your corners nailed..
    You have the right line/set-up for 90% of the corners/bends but lose corner speed by tipping in a tad to early.
    This is an observation, not a criticism

    On my way back west on the motorway,there was a madman coming up behind me on the onramp,he/she then overtook and weaved through the traffic,reaching speeds well over 200km/h. Whoever it was needs to do that kind of riding on the track!!

    I'm still trying to get the hang of this whole how-to-ride-corners-properly-thing. Especially right hand turns still trouble me. But I'm working on it... I think for 3 months I'm not doing too bad
    So hopefully in a few more months I will get better at that.

    Hope I didn't hold you up to much

    It was no criticism, you are doing very well..there were a couple of times I could gone around outside of you (on right handers) but only because I was holding my corner entry line.
    It can be put to you in type as to how to apex a corner but its better to ride behind someone to see how its feels when you do it.
    Better lines = less breaking.
