Still cant put the knee down, hanging of the bike like a fat monkey and still nothing. I dont know if its lack of confidence or/and skills or what but still cant freaking do it.
What riding school would u recommend, what have u tried etc. I dont onaly want to put the knee down but in general want to get faster and better.\
I heard and read about California Superbike school but they are expensive and at the moment they have course in.... Greece lol
So what would u recommend?
cheers

ok fair enough.
 Thats one, quite away from me and focusing only on the knee down. Would it restore my confidence?? would it make me keep speed and choose right   lines? maybe, i dont know.
any more?

well....... tried few times, one even told me : anyone can do it!! he can do it just right here on the piece of tarmac. he didnt teach me anything. They were some more, i started to make improvement, moved my ass from the bike, apparently was getting very close and still nothing. Just like some kind of block, cant go any further. Its so annoying.

Arek, don't let the Southern shandy drinkers wind you up mate!   

Had most of the big sportsbikes in the last 12 years, but it's only this year on the 10R that i've scraped the ol sliders.     I'm no Rossi but always been at the front of Inters group or front half of fast group; knee down does not neccesarily mean you are going faster.  Tyres and confidence in the bike make a massive difference.  Make sure your suspension is set up well and you have good sticky tyres. 209GP's, 211 GP's, Renntecs, Supercorsa's, etc. they will help give you the confidence you need to get it reet ooer in the corners!  Rockinham International was where I started scraping, mostly left handers, for some reason I feel better hanging off the left side; this then gave me the confidence to get the both sides down at the next trackday.  Keep the faith!
