I spotted this ages ago, it is most awesome and highly recommended. After watching this all of a sudden hanging off the bike felt so much righter.

well finally, a bit of sunshine today in Sydney! got out and tried what the video(well, the first one is the only one I've watched so far...) told me to do...
i have to say the whole shifting your hips thing works really well, you just naturally move into a better position on the bike and it feels good.

Great post Goldfish!

Sure did !  [thumbsup]

I got this stuff from a school I did with Keith Code at Phillip Island, when he came out a couple of years ago.  ;D

Makes cornering a breeze and stabilises the bike cos the human isnt jerking it around anymore, so long as the throttle is kept on to settle the suspension.  ;)

We got to the point of holding onto the bars with two fingers and the thumb and it felt controlled and very precise.  [thumbsup]

And, no more arm pump.  ;D

Thanks GF.
I liked to hear it described in a different way to that which I have heard it at Cali Superbike School.
There's always something to learn. ;)
