Here's a chance to read what I wrote again...where is the criticism of you in here? I asked a question about your body position. I asked if maybe techniques have changed. I gave a possible explanation. I gave my 10 years old POV. I'm sorry I didn't join everyone else on your ball sack but there any room left for little ol' me....

I think this sums it up best!

I have never seen you ride but as marko said. Do what feels right. If you find somebody that is better rider than you(better, not faster). Ask'em about it. Maybe even follow and watch how they get it done.

I have been at the new NJ tracks and then at my best bud's wedding... just been busy.

And yes I just found that other thread... funny stuff in there! That was basically Pete's hazing into TWFix... to have a good argument with the one and only tigs


Also, just for clarification on a comment you made in that thread about a crash I had... I was NOT taken out... the crash was my fault. I never said otherwise.

Really? Oh well,I apologize then. I thought that girl crashed and took you with her. I didn't say YOU said that,it was MY take on the situation. Honestly,I do apologize for the mistake. I do make them. Sorry.
