Hi Sean,
I can completly relate to your feeling about max lean angle.
I was almost obsessed about getting my knee down for years.
In my opinion the best approach is this
1) Complete Level 1 of the school. if you havent already
2) Find a safe place to practice. Ideally a car park ( parking lot ?) thats not used on weekends,
like in an industrial estate. What you're looking for is a ONE turn that you practice at about 20-30mph.
3) practice the techniques from level 1 at COMFORTABLE pace and lean
4) After about 80 or 90 laps you will find your confidence increasing, and you can gradually increase your speed, lean angle and lean rate !
I did this last year after level 2 and dropped my lap times by 20 seconds !!!
another of Keiths tips I found usefull is if you circulate without using the brakes.
Finally this is only my personal opinion but if you hang off the bike you feel closer to the gound
so you dont "fall " as much with higher lean angles,
hope this helps
John.
