  1. I think: - push right = go right - push left = go left If one were to pull, it would probably be exiting a sharp curve: - you're in a right handed curve - you've pushed right, gone right - once you've hit the apex or once you started rolling on, you need the bike as upright as possible before maximum acceleration may be safely applied. - while the bike is leaned right, as you exit the apex, you could perhaps pull on the right bar, which has the same effect of pushing left = making the bike lean left...except you're leaning right already, so leaning left is really standing the bike up more than from it's leaned right position than it is leaning left. - If you stand the bike up, you can increase the throttle earlier or more 'agressively' - If you stand the bike up, you risk going wide if you've done it too early...so it's also when to do it if ever.... My 2 pence, make that 2 centimmes!
  2. Hi Bullet and thank you for addressing my question. To answer your following question, I'd say: - before the turn both pegs evenly carrying weight. - into the turn(right hander), inner peg is biased for weight(to help initiate the turn?) but outer peg is "ready" - turning in, outside peg becomes biased in weight to leverage the left knee and inner peg carrying weight but not weighted any more. - I'd want to set up the bike so that I can use the momentum from entry point to apex without further steering inputs after turn in and before the apex, as I suspect this will make my entry look "wave" like or "untidy" and probably force me to correct my line mid-corner. .... ?

  3. Hi folks, interesting discussion here and concerns some of my current uncertainties while steering the bike into a curve. Currently, if I were approaching a right handed curve, I'd get the braking and gear changing sorted before entry point. I've identified my entry point, I can pretty much tell where the apex should be and the exit point I either can or cannot see depending on the road ahead. When I arrive toward entry point, I push right (counter steeing) to go right, simultaneously weighting the inner peg. The bike tips into the turn......inside knee is outward and inner peg unweighted with weight now shifted to outer peg, to leverage the outside knee against the tank(left side of tank). Should I be weighting the inner peg on entry then transferring weight to outer peg as leverage ou should I be weight the outside peg only, forgetting the whole weight the inside peg?
