    I hardly move on my bike at all, and I am sure some other others will back me up in that I am not slow in the slightest when it comes to bends.

    Riding the correct line/entry & exit speeds/brake points, confidence in the bike and a good understanding with counter steering is all you need!

    Dave - do you lean your body off the bike at all, or stay all in line? I was following Jaydee back a few weeks ago, and his bum doesn't seem to move much, but his head and shoulders are leant off the bike, almost as if he's willing it round! lol

    I move my very upper body a little bit (Mid torso to shoulders) and I look around the bend so my head is always pointed to the end of the corner (god knows how it looks to others!)

    As for my bum, it rarely moves to be honest, sometimes I have a shuffle round on bends, and went through of phase of moving my ass to either side of the seat in bends, but in all honesty I was concerntrating too much on my bum been in the correct possition and ended up messing the corner up as a result, so I just gave up.

    You are doing Cornwall correct? Feel free to follow me and see for yourself.

    SF there's a thing in this months RiDE (I think, need to check) that may be of interest to you, it all about road position, body position and maintaining corner speed, might want to check it out
