Corners - Getting them right every time.

What determines your road position at the exit of a corner?
  This can be a right can of worms, but if you are reading the road and anticipating accurately what is coming, then the answer becomes a little more obvious.
  Lets assume a series of 5 corners, A,B,C,D and E, then we also accept that there is a potential for things to go wrong, especially if there is no planning and poor observation going on.
  There are two mantra's for cornering, Slow in - Fast Out; Wide In - Narrow Out.  Ignore these and things again go wrong in a hurry, there is a tendency to exit too fast, too wide and whilst you may recover the first one or two, in a series of corners you are going to get bitten.........hard.
  The problem occurs in that as one attempts to regain correct road position; entry to the next corner is compromised. If the corners are coming thick and fast there is no time to recover and we run out of road, either crossing the centre line into oncoming traffic or running off the road and running the risk of interfacing with the roadside furniture.
  Having recovered road position from corner A, we are not set up for corner B and carry this compromise into the tip in point, forcing a another, larger, recovery of position, resulting in an ever increasing error as we approach each successive corner, until eventually, we come to grief around corner D or E.
  If we allow ourselves to be guided by the mantras already mentioned, then we are in a position to observe the road ahead and plan for it.

So our answer is..............in a position correctly set up to enter the next corner that does not require any adjustment!

Practice and enjoy, and please feel free to ask any questions..........the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

Stay safe and have fun.
