we have two techniques at the Superbike School that utilize the riders body position mid corner and exit for slightly different purposes. One is the hook turn which is used to help you tighten up a corner WITHOUT adding lean angle by dropping your upper body forward and down to help the bike HOOK a tighter line.... the other, which may be a little more applicable to what you are talking about here is the pick up drill in which you counter-steer the bike back up while keeping your body forward and to the inside.
What do you think the benefit of the pick up drill might be? And how might that be applicable for mid corner exit speed and traction control?
