PLEASE IGNORE MY SHITTY BODY POSITION


I think I'd worry more about my foot position. Maybe ride more on the balls of your feet. Not that I'm one to talk. I always drag a boot when I get to the tight stuff before I remember to bring my feet father back :annoy:

I always think I'm riding hard, but haven't drug anything yet (except my boots as above) with the exception that I HAVE banged the centrestand down through very bumpy turns.

So it seems for me there is more bike there than there is rider. So much for my Rossi illusions.

You and I have plenty of company in that illusion.

I was on the balls of my feet. It wore out on the outer toe. I just didn't have my foot as far in as I possibly could. When I do, it doesn't drag when I do that. Wide foot syndrome.  :duh:
