Fish hill isn't a good place to learn tbh!
I would say roundabouts but the safest place to learn is a trackday.
One major mistake is people will say 'but I'm leaning off like a monkey but still can't get my knee down'
When they might have an ass cheek off the seat and pointing their knee but the upper body is still over the top of the bike, its leaning the upper body that puts everything into position,
To start it will feel peculiar because the angle you're used to leaning the bike will feel a whole lot further over when you lean your body off the side, when in fact the bike is probably less leant over!
Basically, on approach to the corner push the heel of your foot into the bike, this twists the leg and instantly pushes the knee out wards, as you slide your arse off the seat the upper body should be coming off the side of the bike also, your head should be more in line with the wing mirror, if its still over the tank then your upper body is in the wrong place!
I ride like this because this is how I feel comfortable and I find it enjoyable, I've seen people riding bolt upright not even moving their legs but still getting fantastic lean angles and taking corners at a decent speed!
