Wow that looks like fun. 
[up] Might try making a motion like your trying to "kiss" the mirror when leaned into a curve. It hugs your chest closer to the airbox and adds a little more stability on the inside of the turn - the closer your body is to the center of gravity of the bike, the safer and further you can lean. It seemed to help me anyway. Nice job.

im working on the off bike leaning . . . it takes some getting use to . . . i cant seem to get myself to touch my knee yet
Thanks all!
RHYNOXB9R: no knee down on that day, but I made a point not to think about that for my first trackday... I wanted to make sure the '09 XB12 would see 2009, if you see what I mean lol Plus it was cold as hell (40-50deg) with lots of ppl crashing, so I was being conservative... AND I don't have the proper technique yet, so as StevenC150 mentioned above, I need to focus on my upper body first, and hopefully the knee will touch on its own as I improve Thanks for the advice btw Steven! I`ll work on that next time we go out (expected early 09).
