Rather to put as much weight as high up off the bikes centreline as possible while trying not to transfer to the inside peg.

I'm never convinced by the things GP riders say they do, some riders say you can some say you cant. It's possible to feel your front tyre going just before it becomes unsavable and steer out of it, i still dont believe he actively catches front end slides on the knee.

The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
