Thanks, Kurt. Good stuff there. I remember you telling somebody about pivoting around the tank slightly and I started doing that, and it feels great. I also started setting up for my turns earlier, mostly while braking, so when I let off the brakes all I need to do is lean the bike and extend my knee out a bit, while moving my upper body with the lean.
The biggest thing I did though was turn my head evn more through the turn and just using my eyes to look around if need be. I ended up seeing the WHOLE corner and through "bike-eye" coordination, I was able to realize "Hey, I can get on the throttle a lot sooner than I originally thought".
I like this thread.
