    Just riding around town today I noticed I was doing some of those wrong things lol! Just moving back in the seat, and using your knees helps out a bunch with the steering feedback! Cool vid! Thanks for posting!

    Re: "How to corner and brake on a sport bike"

    iv been trying not to put so much pressure on the bars these days just so my hands don’t fall asleep. i also have been trying not to squeeze my grips when im running hard so i can "feel" the steering better. (sometimes i have a death grip! lol)

    this is one of the better post! wow its about riding! gw!

    some good stuff to think on while on my next spin!

    thanks for the post!

    The video was decent, but I'm more thankful for the other instruction from this guy. Lots of good info that has already helped me to improve some areas after seeing this and reading other stuff by him.

    So thanks for the vid link.
