Lol... its not going up at all!
Anyways nice one lads for the
. It feels weird, i've literally only done 2 days riding, EVER, well 3 days including my CBT so as confident as i am, i really need to spend a couple of weeks takin my time and getting used to riding, and used to my bike in general. I've got some good quiet country roads on my doorstep so its easy for me to nip out after work and get some practice in.
As soon as i'm riding better, i'll have to get meself to a meet wont i!

I watched this last week, and found myself using the techniques mentioned in the vid without realising it.
"My primary objective in this DVD was to communicate to riders that there is a definite technology to riding. The bike wasn't designed by opinions or good advice and riding is the same, there are technical points that need to be understood. That's the message and focus of this film. Once a rider gets the idea there is a technology then and only then can he conquer his fears and uncertainties on cornering and at that point improvement is virtually unlimited." - Keith Code
Essential for all motorcyclists from weekend riders to racers, Twist of the Wrist II brings Keith Code's best selling book vividly to life, demonstrating precision techniques for overcoming barriers to cornering such as rider input, fundamentals on steering, visual skills, braking, body position, throttle control and more.
From canyon roads to track, techniques are fully explored and laid out using multiple camera angles, onboard shots and CG animation in over 105 minutes of spectacular Hi-Def footage.
The best performance upgrade for any rider, Twist of the Wrist II is the latest product from Keith Code, founder of The California Superbike School and trainer of numerous championship winning riders worldwide.

As soon as I saw that I though it had to be Keith Code.
I actually haven't watched it/read it yet... I may well have a look at it now. A lot of people both off track and on it herald it as some kind of bible.

It is proper awesome.
The "storyline" that rolls with the lessons is shite and cheesy, but the info is fkin stunning.
