So its taking a focus getting it all done right.

Maybe time on the track is the best cure. On my first (and only) trackday my skills improved 10x. I passed up on the last one cos I'm a bit broke atm :) but will do one in a month or two. (they're sort of once a month or less)
be carefull lope, i sacked road riding completely after a few track days lol, i learnt so much on track about my own ability that i couldnt stand riding on our shit british roads anymore! i reckon hand on heart that the only place you will learn to be a better/faster/safer rider is on track as everything is in a controled environment, and when i did ride on the road again i ended up crashing mynew bike :(

to summerise my little (crap) story get some track time under your belt and you will be able to better practice your turn in drill and will ultimately become a better rider.

p.s. sorry if i offended anyone with my rant about andy ibbot i read what i wrote and maybe i was a little harsh :grin:

cheers
