Do not turn into a corner too early or your bike will understeer heavily
to the outside, and you will not be lined up for the straightaway that 
follows. Be patient and wait for the proper turn-in point to leave the 
turn with more speed.
If you have the traction control off, your bike will slide out from under
you if you drive over the grass on the outside of a corner. However, you 
can ride on the grass or dirt on the inside of a turn without the same 
effect. Use this to cut corners, but do not go too far in to avoid a 
stop-and-go penalty for shortcutting.
