I recently completed levels 1 & 2 and have recognised that even though I need to practise the drills taught on those days, my biggest problem by far is counter-steering.
My track bike is a T675 Daytona but I ride a Street Triple R and a 'busa on the road. On both my road bikes, I find the quick turn much easier because my arms are more relaxed and I have more room. The more cramped cockpit of the T675 makes it hard for be to actually get behind the bars and I need to move right back in the saddle to get in to a good cornering position. The laws of physics make this very difficult under heavy breaking and usually results in instability at the turn point.
Is there anything I can do with my pegs, bars or seat to make this easier? Are there any exercises or techniques I could practise, off the bike to make my movement smoother? Or should I just accept that the little trumpet was not built for a 16st, 6ft lard-ass like me?
