Great post WoodyRacing. Just one piece of input. You mention loading up the inside peg to help tip the bike in, but if you happen to touch that loaded peg to the ground, you may very well crash. Its better to hang off the bike to the inside of the turn, and pull the bike over with your outside knee. As the bike leans you should find yourself kind of hanging by that knee, keeping your inside peg unloaded in case you stick it in the ground.

good point I knew I left something out
using your knee to support your weight mid-corneris very helpful, but I was mainly talking about using your footpeg as a lever tomake the biketurn in, not really trying to imply every bit of your weight should be there

yup yup...i concur, not weighting the inside through a turn, but using it to get the bike over and then hooking yourself on with the outside knee...

OR JUST HOLD YOURSELF UP WITH THE DRAGGING KNEE...muahahhaha...

kneedragging is for posers.....muahahhahha

Even then, you dont want to hard plant your knee in the ground. Anything that takes weight off the tires is less than good, though you can push back against the ground and lever your bike back up if you happen to lose it... just ask Rossi.
