Good piccies.

You have your arms very straight, almost locking the elbows. If you relax them, bring your head nearer the tank, it would help to get more weight through your legs and feet.

Keeping the balls of your feet on the pegs will help as well. This will also make it easier to brake hard, as long as you lock your knees onto the tank........I bet you put loads of weight through your arms into the grips on heavy braking (I do this as well). Try really squeezing the tank and pushing down hard on the pegs....it feels weird at first, but you will find that you end up transferring less weight through the clip-ons, which allows you to brake harder, and also to feel more of what the front end is doing.

Typical isn't it? You think your doing great till you realise the guy next to you is taking the same corner as you but on the wrong line, not looking where he's going and only using one hand

The instructor I would guess?
