Here's mine. My first day on the new bike, so I was getting used to the engine braking. You can see I'm not even trail braking in most of the pics. I need to get some stomp grips too... I nearly fell off the bike a few times.

Same corners as D, for comparison.

Yeah, but when you have more experience, you don't have to do it exactly by the book. Those are just basics to work from. My position in the pics is comfortable for me. My only issue is that I still weight my arms from time to time. I need to work on using my legs to hold me on the bike more and use practically no weight on my arms.

Our form is very similar, Kurt.

Usually, my upper body is over a bit more... I realized after I looked at the pics on Saturday that I wasn't moving as much because I felt like my legs were sliding off the bike. The combination of the slicker seat and the lack of stomp grips was throwing me off. I nearly smashed my nuts a few times trying to hold onto the tank while braking.

Anyway, you're getting much better D. You should save up and do a school, IMO. You won't learn much more from following people like me around anymore.
