    Yeah I got heaps of riding advice for TS. If he works real hard and takes it all on board he might just be able to pull 1:10's like me!

    haha... Until I go round Puke and find out how slow I am, there is a *slight* possibility that I am quicker than TS... Hence my advice is the right advice to take, and it shouldn't be questioned in any way

    fuckin nice chris! Hell yes that bike gets some angle thrown at it! But like, has anybody noticed chris's style is like totally different to what the majority of other racers is? In all the pics i see, his knee doesnt come out at such an angle, but his arse comes off a long way so his leg is kinda parallel to the bike still but out a foot or so? Is it just me? definatly looks weird! Im thinking its the way to go? Here i come arse-down!

    Great action pix ~ wish I was there to enjoy it too.
    ...that pic looks like there's a bit of motocross-stylz in the elbows. Do a bit of off-road, eh?

    Why do what everyone else does? Is this the technique that has seen him getting faster each time? Will it work on a different bike, or will he have to adopt the same style as others? I don't know... all I see is that boy flying out there and getting better each time he does a race meeting. Well done Chris.

    Yeah that would mean he gets a lot of his body mass off the bike, which would help going round corners. But, the mass off the bike is lower torso mass rather than upper torso mass... I think that higher weight is better?? Also, he looks far further forward than the others -more confidence in the front tyre then?? As for a parallel leg, I dont think there is room to stick his knee out.... :P

    Anyway, if it works, it works....

    Ride did a shot a while back comparing Rossi, Schwantz, Doohan, etc. They all have totally different riding styles, but they are all pretty quick.....


    Anyway, awesome stuff Chris - Iīm still working on a way to send you some dosh.....
    Queiro voya todo Europa con mi moto.... pero no tengo suficiente tiempo o dinero.....

    Cheers everyone... My style changes with the bike. As people have seen, i used to hang of the RG150 like a monkey... The reason i dont stick my knee out that much on the 400 is because the seating position is quite low so my knee is getting sandwiched between the fairing and the track, meaning i cant stick it out that much...
