    I just wondered if any of you guys could recommend some good YouTube videos or people to follow that post instructional videos on how to improve your riding and in particular, cornering and body positioning.

    My cornering is improving loads and I know this will keep improving the more miles I do, but I've got a looonnnnggggg way to go. I've doubled my total road miles in the last 9 days alone .

    A twist of the wrist 2 by Keith Code is the one to watch! Is cheesy as hell but its the best advise and explanations you will find in my opinion.

    It is really bad :joy: but like I say, best advise and explanations with loads of practical demonstrations etc. Everything you need to know is in that one video.

    I use an 80's video for me work to show trainees and I pre warn them but they don't believe me, they are hysterical during the opening scene so this will probably help me more

    I had looked a little look at the iam training/ride outs but doing 2 jobs and having my daughter as single parent I realised I couldn't commit and didn't want to waste a ones time so I'm hoping towards the end of the year I can hopefully look into it a bit more seriously.

    The observation and wet weather ones would be amazing thank you, wet weather is my biggest fear if I'm totally honest, really worries me.

    Go down your favourite road and don’t use your brakes.

    Hello mate, serious advice. Will get you smooth, slow in, fast out, maybe not quickest but will give you time to think about line, speed, engine braking, gear etc.

    A good wee exercise. (From my 12bhp days but works on anything)
