Just so I know we're talking about the same thing, you mean I'm not leaning the top half of my body off the inside of the bike? Cause in the picture i'm looking at i'm pretty sure I am, and I would be even more if there wasn't a slower rider infront of me.

Ok champ?

Learn to take constructive advice.
I didn't read it that Luke was belittling you, I read it as he was offering help.

... as it happens, I agree with him.

If the line had read mate your positioning needs some work, do this or try this,actual advice then I'd quite happily have listened. Just saying it's terrible is not constructive IMHO

But next time on track, I'll grab an instructor and see what his verdict is. So I guess in a way it worked
