  1. I'm the same as Grip - left knee goes down no worries. Right knee - not so much... My personal view is that I prefer left hand corners because the throttle is on the "high" side of the bars and I feel more confident than when the throttle is on the low side, in right handers. It's something I need to work on, 'cos it's just in my head (like the voices...) Another thing I've found is that when I get my knee down I kinda feel I'm cranked over and going as fast as I can - WRONG! I've been trying to increase my corner speeds gradually and allow my knee to come up to the tank once it's down... It is a very cool feeling getting your knee down though - it's just something you can't do when you're driving a car, no matter how fast you're going! So, no matter whether you're fast or slow, I recommend giving it a go (and your sliders look better scuffed up too).
  2. Or think of it in the same way as a musician plays an instrument - watch a professional guitarist/saxophonist/pianist's fingers when they're playing - there's a hell of a lot of action going on there and it doesn't necessarily seem smooth (in a "fluid" sense at least)... Now close your eyes and listen - it sounds smooooooooooth... So each individual action of the fingers (and embouchure, if it's a wind or brass instrument) is conducted in a positive, predicted, and predictable, manner. Just like inputs to the throttle, brakes, position on the bike etc. Put it all together properly and the combined result is smooth. And, like playing an instrument, it's much easier talking about it than doing it....
