[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1330357, member: 3187"] Almost guaranteed what others have said above, a case of "target fixation". Not necessarily a fixed "target", but if you look at the curb on the outside of the road, you [I]will[/I] track towards it. DON'T LOOK AT THE CURB. Look along the path you want to take, keep on scanning your desired path from near the bike along your envisioned green line to as far as the corner allows you to see. You then almost can't fail to follow that line. Following another rider probably won't help with this for when you are on your own, you will simply follow him/her, looking at their bike, which you will naturally follow. It may (or may not ;) ) help to teach you a "good" line through the corner, but won't help when you're not following. [/QUOTE]
