So overtake on the corner exit like the rest of the loonies.

What? Motorways up there have grass growing in the middle and random patches of sand and gravel on most corners?

For Bibio:

The only exception is if the corner is tightening and you got caught unawares I suppose.
Amusing that it would seem the southern GM are giving someone from the northern GM advice on riding, most amusing indeed

As for the only exception, leave the brakes alone and lean more In my experience attempting to use the brake to save you in a potential awkward cornering situation is risky...especially round here where there's likely to be patches of well placed gravel/cowcrap/diesel in your way...

Missy, I mean if you're in the middle of the open corner with lots of space and you see it tighten ahead and you're already at almost full lean (like all the southern GM are all the time ).

But basically i was just trying to think of an exception because if I didn't you lot would be posing what if's till I died of old age.

Maybe it would be easier if we all came up and just SHOWED you hwo to ride?

14.28km/L or 33.5mpg(twisty A/B roads), but I arrived 40min ahead of schedule, seems to be my thing, leaving late, arriving on time or early, ppp, but hey, it works. Don't know how to cruise yet, maybe when I get old. Don't even know how low it goes on track, but I'm guessing under 33mpg.
