muffles

How many actually do this?

I have never quite gotten my tyres to the edge (right now there is a 5-ish mm band of untouched tyre each side) and this year I found a nice route near me which I intended to use to try and get rid of my strips (I'm in London btw so good routes are not that near and there may be others - I just looked it up on a map and tried it out).

However I cannot get rid of the last bit, but it's not really my confidence in cornering as such - it's just it'd be too quick for the roads for me to be happy with what I was doing - given none of the corners I can see all the way round (trees, etc).

I'm sure there are some roads out there that might be better (specifically, ones with 'sighted' corners) but speaking to a couple of people recently (one of whom used to race 2 strokes of some kind) they don't believe it's something you could/should be doing on the road.

I haven't done a track day yet - high on my list, just avoided it due to cost so far. Not stopping me for long though, it just needs me to convince myself.

So, is it me? Should I be going round faster? Or is it correct that you shouldn't try to get to the edge of your tyre on the road...
