Turn the chest toward the turn, and get the head inside and forward not high and outside.

I knew the whole "look through the corner thing" since I started riding. But didn't really notice how to truly use it until this year. I would usually end up fixating at the apex of the corner, which is fine and dandy until I started coming out of it. I don't even look down anymore. Look where you wanna go.

I've been trying to focus on my throttle changes. Less changes, and more 1 off, 1 on. Every mistake costs time and speed through a corner. Also increases my risk of high or low siding.

That was the only issue I had when doing my first Cornerspeed trackday- fight the urge to have 'street shoulders', as the instructors called it.

I like em. Less to carry on your back. Waterproof?

Street shoulders... as in holding on tight to the bars and trying to man handle the bike?
