A little bit more about myself...
In brief I can't corner for s**t!

You lot will be able to write my biography before long. Anyways here goes, I used to ride a DT to work a couple of days a week for about a year, good for close control crap in the corners because I had chunky tyres on as I did like to do a bit of Green Laning, but this meant I cornered either slowly or sideways. After that year I requested to take a 4 day restricted access course but after a series of random factors ended up on an ER-5 taking the Direct Access course. On passing the test I reviewed certain bikes and apparently the SV is the best reccomended bike for your first. I'd been sensible with my first choice of the DT this was recomended as the best learner bike and it paid off. Following suit I bought the SV now for the last year I've used that to get to work, unfortunatly (in a way) I live just off one of the motorway and work just off the other.

So basically, before passing I didnt have the tyres or the power to corner properly. Now I've got both but I very rarely actually use it in corners. with summer coming I'd like to learn how to do it properly not knee down eye watering riding just to be compitent at taking a series of bends.

I know about counter stearing and I in the wet the DT woulds drift but other than that any tips or even any places that the yorkshire lot can reccomend to be able to get some practice in would be fantastic.

Cheers all and appolgies for another long post, but I figure if I ask anybody then you lot have got to be the best to be asking.
