You seem a great dude Manny and probably know but question one is... were you having fun? Were you grinning?

Important but not nearly in the same league is the usual:
- loooooosen and bend that inside arm
- turn those shoulders into the turn to match you head which is looking through the turn
- turn those hips INTO the turn so your outside leg can hold some of your weight against the tank
- the above will almost for your to commit your upper body into the turn

Beers at lunch help me a ton with this... loose as a goose.

You and I should run together Manny as I came at this from the opposite direction. I was hanging way the heck of the bike and wasn't leaning it much and was really uncomfortable trying to lean it more. Once my knees started hitting again (many many years back since they had) I had a reference point and feel more confidence as it is easier to know where I am and how much lean I have in the machine from lap to lap. Let me know if you want to next year as you know who I am (the guy towing with a MINI). I've been instructing cars for nearly ten years and will I am not very fast I am going through the same things and the lessons are very fresh in my mind. I'm not sure how accurate my understanding and practice are to going real fast though as I am just on the steep part of the curve myself.
