With the exception of more track time and tyres, what has made you faster? I ask as I'm sacking off road riding this year, at least on my bike, and thinking about what to spend my tax and insurance monies on. Saving for a euro track day and more pressingly some half decent warmers are on my list. ____________________ Triumph Daytona 675 track bike + girlfriend's Honda Hornet 600

Most of what is taught is in CSS can be found in TotW2 - the only thing I found useful I had to 'steal' - they taught it in level 3, but won't go off curriculum and I was only on level 2. So I had to listen in to others being taught.
It was about gripping the tank with your knees and using your thighs to move your body - especially useful in chicanes.
After I did the first one, I felt loads smoother.
Turned out that was because I was riding slower. Could have ridden smoother and slower without spending the money and time with them!
I'd go back to TotW2 and read through it again, making a point to follow each of the examples.
Also, take this excellent advice from Rossi for going quicker:
Brake later, corner quicker, accelerate earlier.
