reading through this thread has helped reinforce my belief that loading the front too much on turn in is bad and getting on the gas early helps with traction. Its obviously more difficult to cope with bad road/track conditions. Incidentally, my reference to steering with the rear comes straight from the Great Man himself, TOTW II Ch 13. Very interesting concept and worth reading if you can get hold of a copy. thanx to everyone for their input BTW Renais

picking up on an old thread I have a few thoughts which I'd like to share. My understanding of cornering (which may be flawed) is that once the bike is turned, most of the steering is done by the rear, hence the reason for bikes exiting turns with the front wheel in the air and generally not making much contact with the track. This being the case, front wheel wash out must happen before the bike is turned or it happens only after losing the rear!? any further thoughts? Renais
