Hi all

I'm a relatively new rider, passed my test a couple of months ago after being on a 125 for 3-4 months. Noticed recently that my positioning around corners isn't the best. From what I've heard/been told the best position to take up is on the outside of the bend so that you can see as far around the bend as possible, and if any car drivers decide to cut the bend there is less chance of them hitting you.

Now I've been making a relatively conscious effort to do this recently but I just can't seem to do it. It somehow feels much safter to be on the inside of the bend, not hugging the white line but definitely on the inside. My logic seems to follow that if I'm on the outside of the bend and I **** up, I'll go off the edge of the road, but if I'm on the inside then it gives me a little more room to sort myself out. Going round corners at 60-70 seems quite unnerving if I'm on the edge of the road whilst going around it.

I do all the normal stuff like looking where I want to go etc, no problems with that; it just seems to be the positioning.

Cheers
