I tried it on my next track day and it was a huge difference. Trying to move laterally without also dropping that inside shoulder was much more awkward.

See how the sternum is pointed at the long axis of the bike? This is really consistent when you watch with that in mind.




Thanks for the advice! I know my buddy keeps telling me to touch my "titty to tank" I just gotta really focus more on doing it. Now that I have kinda the basics down and I am not distracted worrying about line, throttle,gear etc I can focus a bit more on cleaning up the BP.
