... Rossi feels the same way you do ... google Surtees, Murray Walker, Joey Dunlop, Mike The Bike Hailwood, Stanley Woods, Agostini ... long deep history of the IOMTT ... has been said that some of the early racers were World War 1 veterans looking for PTSD trench warfare adrenalin generators jg

nothing more fun than smoking a Ducati in corner #9 at Summit Point Main on my Ninja 250 ) next on the list is the Moriwaki. Ago

Hey, I could use some help integrating this with my CSS schooling and TOTW study. These 3 points sound new and different to me. I'm not sure why. Perhaps this illustrates a gap in my understanding? Justin

Just curious, Hotfoot. Which bike were you racing?

Gosh. All, thank you for your thoughtful posts and please forgive my delay in replying. Your camaraderie and support is much appreciated. I will reflect upon your questions and comments and be back soon. Justin

Hi All Shaken, if not shattered, confidence has become an issue for me. I'll welcome any posts or messages with your thoughts on the topic. Thanks Justin

Phible Good to hear an echo on this. I'm prototyping a wiki. Ago

Have you read twist on weighting-outside-footpeg? There's a thread active right now on this. Is there also an issue with tightening up corners? Ago

once you've made your steering input, then when you're holding the bike in a corner, is your inside arm relaxed enough to do the chicken-flap? Ago

Majdi Your answer itself begs the question: << What is the rule? >> Ago

Mugget That does make sense. The image gives me something to bear in mind. It would also seem to echo Hotfoot and FajitaDave in the recent Quantum Mechanics thread: Like hotfoot said the suspension works much more efficiently when the bike is as close as possible to vertical. I think another potential advantage of using body position is tire wear ... Thanks Ago

your comments about leverage and lunging were helpful in my experiments this week. now it actually feels really cool to weight the outside peg -- like totally having a stabilizing platform against which to push and support my countersteering! between that and tank grip / lock on, my riding feels totally different -- like an integrated system instead of random body bits flying about. once it gets up to 80 degrees i'm going to put on the snakeskin TechSpecs tankpads. -- I'm looking forward to improving the lock onto the tank.

anyone find it unnerving? kai, do you use it regularly? fossil, do you use it on corner entry?

I think I failed to provide context for my question: Tw2, Chapter 19 ... criss-cross ... i get lock-on, strength, stability ... I just can't get my head around: why the outside peg and not the inside one for stability and strength? i did try the countersteer + outside peg today and it just felt unnerving I feel like i'm on the edge of getting it, but that some new perspective might get me there for real.
