Ant, in your PM to me today you used the following phrase regarding my hesitancy to get on the throttle:

Quote:
"...if I can abruptly roll 75% throttle mid turn while leaned over, you have a metric on how much you should be able to "safely" roll on."
Choosing that word... "abrupt"... says something about the mindset for both of us. Scares the hell out of me but not you. Not a word I would ever apply to track riding. So I think you're looking at it the right way this year by being more mindful of how smoothly you add power.

I think we're both looking for the same thing, but coming at it from different starting points.
