LEAN THE BAD BOY OVER LAD! lol!
Lol - this is my point - I can lean it over further but it wants to turn quicker (as you'd expect). Thus, I need to go faster through the corner - however that puts me outside of my comfort zone w.r.t. how much I can see, etc, and how safe it is. I think to get to ~5mm left it's not really a leaning issue...is it?!

Roundabouts are you're friend here.
This is a good point and certainly is how I feel coming out of the corner - I just can't bring myself to go in any quicker - going in quicker I am more committed to a particular line and compromise my ability to adjust should there be anything I need to avoid. Did have a quick go on a nice roundabout but it was too busy & in any case I feel liike it's cheating lol.

I do know the roads fairly well but as above it puts me out of my comfort zone (considering safety) going round any quicker...
