Yet another very good piece of advice there, Edward....EDWARD TURNER III???!!!(as per your bio???!!!)

Gentlemen, and Lady(that's YOU Gina)...I give you the grandson of the dude responsible for making Triumph the hallowed marque in motorcycling that it became!

Okay, maybe not. BUT, that IS an excellent point about keeping your head up(in fact, almost purposely craneing one's neck UP to an extreme angle to whichever direction one is turning). Watch most roadracers on the track and you can see them doing this. This practice removes much of the "target fixation" problem many new(and even some expericenced) riders are prone to. Try it and you'll quickly find out that your turns are smoother AND you'll tend to "go wide" much less in those turns if you constantly look for that "late apex".

And Gina....Don't worry too much about starting to agree with me more in the future.

You're sure to find yourself doing THAT a heck of a lot more the older you get, kid!

(of course, THIS may be the very thing Pete and the Boys lamented happening back in the day when they cried..."Hope I die before I get old!"

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
