One of these days I'll take the class. I'm sure the instructors will have a shit fit over all my bad habits. |
My bad habit was just pushing on the bars without leaning. Now I lean off the bike for every curve.

As an aside, you look exactly how I had you pegged mentally.

So what were some of the new things ya learned? What did they critique you on? |
I learned to lean my upper body off the bike. For me, moving my knee out didn't do crap, so I hug the tank with my knees all the time. Also learned to look ahead through each curve. Sometimes that's hard to do on mountain roads where many of the corners are blind.
We had to ride a Figure-Eight with an instructor in the center of each eight. We had to lock eyes on each instructor which kept us looking into the turn instead of looking at where the front tire was going. But I like critiquing other riders rather than being critiqued.
