Kiwi, maybe we over-analyse our riding, or is that under-analyse?? !! One thing I do know, which is critical for me anyway, is corner entry. Getting that right, and being able to carry speed in, then keeps mid corner speed up and allows getting on the gas to be more seamless - becuase you are already carrying the speed - rather than feeling like the need to jump on it hard because you've slowed up too mid mid corner. Let's put all our techniques and theories to the test at the Barry Sheene!
Sounds good to me :banana

Mike - thanks and how's the recovery coming along??
Good thanks. Using the time to analyse riding techniques ;)

In related news I have a niece who has just set her wedding date for the Saturday of the Barry Sheene weekend! How inconsiderate is that? I told her I would go to her next wedding.....she didn't think that was funny :)

Life is funny! Something has been niggling me all day!

I can't believe this, but 22 years today I was married in California! She was one of those girls... Crazy! We eloped and made our way from LA to Yosemite Valley, base jumping everything along the way. We got married at the base of El Capitan, which is a 3000-foot shear cliff in the valley... And the next day... Ha.

Worst 10 years of my life :)

Here's a copy of the same marriage certificate used for our wedding! Funny! If you look down to where it says ordained you will see a bloke digging a grave :)

His own...:)

LOL That's nuts! At first I thought 'miner' but then, well, you don't dig a mine 2' wide by 6' long...
