If you want to learn about the limits on the road, a good advanced training course is surely the right thing to be doing. If you go looking for what you are capable of on track and then try to transfer that to road riding, you're asking for trouble. Yes, the 2 skill sets may cross, and you may improve your riding with both, but I don't think it does to confuse one with the other.
I am an advanced rider with the IAM, so i would say my road riding is fine for 99% of the time, its just sometimes if for whatever reason i go into a corner a bit HOT, I bottle it and instead of tipping it in more i straighten up, which is no good.
So all i was referring too was some way of improving my cornering confidence safely.
I am actually not interested in going fast on a track just somewhere where i can improve.
I am of the school of slow in fast out for corners.
