I'm curious how everyone takes corners...

1. Lock the outside knee against the tank, using your heel and toe to provide leverage.
2. Look as far through the turn as possible.
3. Square your shoulder and head with the exit of the turn.
4. Point the inside toe and knee out toward the apex.
5. If you're going in too hot, lean harder.
6. Get back on the throttle as early as possible.

Its a little different on the Motard...

1....go in way to hot
2.....get on the rear brakes just a little to hard while dropping it down to gears
3.....try and point it at the exit while not sliding off the cliff
4....initiate wheelie

I believe he is having a problem locking up the fronts before he even gets even the slightest pressure on the rear.

He wants it like that so he can do power-brake burnouts when he gets a red-light next to a civic.
