Stress Meter
 
Now i know a lot of the racers do it with the left foot touching the ground back on the pegs and into the corner.

I find myself when i am pushing that i actually flick the back of my heel of my boot outwards depending on which way the corner is going, right for right vicey versa. I keep the ball of my feet on peg when i do this. I tend to do it quite violently the longer i have riden on twisty roads.

Is it a stress meter? Does anyone else do summit like this?

When I am setting up for a nice fast left hander, I take my left foot off the peg, then pop it back on as I tip the bike in. Don't do it with my right foot at all. Dunno why really, someone pointed it out to me during a ride, I didn't know I was doing it.

Thats what the racers do, Pedrosa and Rossi are the bestest for it!

Wonder why? I can't imagine it helps in any way, but I just can't stop now. Nice to be in such good company though!

I count the flakes of car-paint stuck in the steel bits on the toes of me boots
