This turned into a very informative thread! That is a rarity around here! From what I'm hearing, if Chris were to refine his body position he would be faster than fast, and the fast riders that I know say he's fast? As for my chicken strips, they be a cluckin'! Went on the CSBA ride Saturday down through Hocking and the bike was all over the place. I think it was a tire pressure thing, I'm dealing with a tire gauge that I'm not sure I trust here recently. Even with that, and my total lack of confidence after a bad section of road, factoring in "closer to correct" body position instead of being crossed up, I think I was much better off than last year. I just need to get my confidence back up, and sort out the (possible) tire issue and I should be good. I'll post pics later, but I'm sure they don't count, since I ride a 250.
