[QUOTE="wannayz, post: 644885, member: 34378"]
Sorry  but searching the posts just confused me.  My bike's a thumper and the track was dry/sandy soil but wetted down quite a bit leaving mud over hardpack and FLAT turn. When  focused I concentrate on sitting over the tank, leaning bike but keeping body  upright thus weighting the outside peg, smooth throttle  out of turn, outside elbow high and inside leg out.  (Just saying this because I try hard to concentrate on technique).  But in this flat turn I kept BADLY sliding out and fell a couple times, last time hard enough to finish my riding for the day (kneecap still sore).  I think it was the rear wheel sliding out.  Maybe I wasn't focused enough, maybe tired and not smooth with the throttle.   
Next time I want to make sure I am weighting the outside peg and I figure that if I am on the tank, the rear can slide while my body acts as a pivot point ahead of it.  Maybe I sat too far back and got thrown off balance with the rear.   But, some posts say "stay on the rear for traction".  Big difference!!!!!!!!!! and enough to get me hurt.  I could use some advice here and any other pointers.  Thanks.
