[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1235404, member: 29492"] In brief, I was taught that when you take a left-hand corner, 1) you hang your left butt cheek off the bike -- that is, right butt cheek and thigh on the seat, 2) reach your chin towards your left grip while deeply bending the left elbow and wrist, and 3) keep your head as vertical as possible while looking at the exit point of the corner. Item one moves your lower body towards the inside of the curve, item two moves your torso and head towards the inside of the curve, and item three ensures you're looking ahead for debris/potholes/obstacles on your intended line of travel. The deep elbow/wrist bend avoids throttle faux pas and keeps your fingers ready for lever duty. All together, they [U]drastically[/U] reduce your lean angle. Each of [B]russperry[/B]'s photos (post 49) show similar rider postures. Do I ride like that? Very rarely, and never to Marc Maurez extremes, but if pavement conditions are sketchy or I feel froggy, it's nice to have practiced the technique. [/QUOTE]
