Yup, go faster and push on that inside bar harder. [thumbsup]

Yeah! I think when I get my hand correct in the "screwdriver" position like it's suppose to be, I should be able to do that a bit easier, thanks!

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Your right arm looks bent 90 degrees. Shoot for 45 degrees and that would shove your upper body over more.

This perspective seems to have helped, thanks. Here's a shot from yesterday, where I consciously worked on straightening my outside arm.  [thumbsup]

You're on it there! [thumbsup]

Inside arm/elbow looks like how I want to do it.

Really like the body position.

Felt good. As soon as I did it I knew I got it right.  [thumbsup] Then I just had to work on repeating it. It's a lot harder than you would think to figure out.

Reminded me of the 1st time I made a turn on a snowboard and thought, "oh, that's how it is supposed to feel".

Easy does it, no need to overdo things  [cheeky]

Nope - when I go flat out I can just hang my upper body a little inward - that's all it takes at my size/weight - on road tires. If I was on slicks and wanted to use the added grip, then I'd need to hang off.

90% of the track day riders I see hanging off, don't need to - often with ass off and upper body resisting - upsetting the bike and disturbing their smoothness - IMO
