Hi all,
What does this phrase mean, as in "He''s always backing his CBR into the corner and wheeling out of it."
My guess is it means entering the corner with the rear sliding out or spinning.
Anyway, the phrase seems to imply looking quick but not necessarily being quick.

I''m guessing THIS is what you''re looking for. This guy is awsome when it comes to control. His name is Garry McCoy

Yeah, that is what I had in mind. Driving into a corner and holding it there with rear tire spin and horsepower, almost like the oversteer in a rally car.

Thanks for the video, says a thousand words :-)
