  20. Ever seen a flat tracker, or a speedway bike, go around a corner?
  21. Both are great fun for the beginner; if you back off the throttle,
  22. you head straight for the outside wall. If you get on the gas, you
  23. head down towards the rail.
  24.  
  25. You can also try this on dry pavement with a V-Max. GREAT fun.
