You may be able to fix that with some new springs/valves...

I really need to upgrade/tune in my suspension. Its about the only thing still stock on my 9 year old bike.

That is the stupid thing, I have a slipper clutch and good brakes but don't use either. I just start slowing down WAY before necessary. Makes me feel like I'm wasting the "perks" my bike has.

You need to come down here and go ride with Erik and I to the river. Some nice roads in southern OH, believe it or not.

I never push it. I ride at about 70% all the time. Stepping it up means about 80% for me.

There's no fear. I know I can lean this thing way the frak over, I just don't do it.

It's funny now I've gone from being a stronger lefty to a more aggressive right hand turn guy.

Mine changes from time to time as well. Sometimes I've got confidence on one side, then another day its the other side...

I aced the tight figure 8 turns during MSF but now they bug the hell out of me. I avoid the tight slow turns when I can. REALLY need to practice dragging the rear brake and keeping the revs up.

I read the last part of this as "turned gay".
