Ok guys, your examples were very helpful. Till now i used just to put weight on the outside peg and only after i've already made the steering action. First time i tried to push the outside peg the same time i made the steering action i was surprised! The bike seemed to turn more quickly, in a way i never expected it to do! Suppose it helps with what Keith calls "flicker" and "leaner". However there is a new problem: with "pivot steering" many times i catch myself holding on too tight to the bars and i can't figure out why it happens. Hope that with some practice it'll be gone

First of all, please excuse my bad english! I' m a new rember and a new rider too. I own a FZ6 since January 2004. I want to improve my driving so i bought and read Keith's TOTW I and II. My mistake was that i didn't understoond and didn't try to understand what i was reading and why it has to be done the way the book describes. About two months ago i had a crash and the main reason was SR: in an unexpected situation i stood frozen and ... voila (1550 euro cost)! That made me think that i'm doing something wrong and went back to Keith's books. This time I'm trying to understand and perform the material, sometimes i do and sometimes i don't (SR are pretty hard to overtake sometimes!) but i feel more confident than ever and surely i have to thank Keith and his books for that. Anyway, i'd use some help over the "pivot steering". If i understand right, it just means put the weight on the outside peg while in a corner, or it means something different and more than that? Sorry for the huge post!
