First off, please forgive the very crude Microsoft Paint jpg. Art was not my forte' but I think this drawing gets the point across so please don't get bogged down in critiquing my drawing.

Also, for the purposes of this post, the road that you see drawn is the right lane of the road, not the entire road. As to my way of thinking, the oncoming lane is never an option for me. YMMV.

The "line" you see drawn on the left is similar to a race line (I know it's not perfect, so you type A racers just chill  ...it's close enough for the purposes of this post). I've seen some folks take this line on the street. I would purpose that eventually this kind of line will bite you because the rider is crossing over sets of gravel that are often going to be in the corners.

The "line" on the right is the safer line IMO, as you are following the cleaner "lane" of the corner. You're following where the cars tires have cleaned off the corner gravel.

Thoughts?

I encourage any history buff to visit the Winston Churchill Memorial and Library in Fulton, Missouri.
If you are in central Missouri with several hours to kill, this is well worth your time.
Fulton Missouri is where Churchill gave his famous "Iron Curtain" speech.
