Went in to a bend a little to hot this afternoon on my way home, remembered the advice given in a post about not grabbing the brakes but looking through the bend, keeping the throttle steady and trusting the bike's grip. All ended well I'm pleased to say plus I was very surprised at the amount of grip the old divvy has Very Happy I did rattle myself a bit to be honest but its emphasised to me to keep my concentration and not let my mind wander when I'm riding.

It's nice when you accidentally find out your bike has more to give than you thought Thumbs Up

Actually as soon as the bike is leant over you are supposed to open the throttle gently, smoothly and evenly throughout the remainder of the turn. ((c) Keith Code).

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
