Hmmmm, why is your head so far out from the bike, do you know how heavy your head is? Try to keep things in line a bit before copying Dannybignosa.

Fair point, I know I need to be lower down. Aim for my chin on my wrist I was always told.

Edit to add. Looks like whitham's style .... He was ace at crashing too

Not trying hard enough if you don't crash occasionally!

Just ride how you feel comfortable is the best advice, really young kids starting out adopt way out styles, having met you I am sure you are not a 15 year old.

Think about riding and looking where you want to go before worrying about style.

Have you forgotten where you are?

PH style matters.

I'd love to have a go in an Atom. One of my dream garage.

I'm back on that track day I sold you at Croft too - my mate who I was supposed to be helping that weekend is no longer racing, and someone else sold me a place. Will see you there

Think a friend of a friend had a bit of a mishap in his atom on that day

We went off backwards at tower. A work mate from down South came up with his Evo FQ 360 called Stuart

Cool name for an Evo

Diagnosis from you track gods please; pressures, too low, too high or correct?

Looks ok too me maybe drop a couple of psi from the rear

[moanthebairns]

right so you drop your psi going to the track as the tyres will be doing much more work than on the road and will heat up more than normal.
this is increasing the pressure inside the tyre.

reducing the pressure obviously would compensate for this once up to temperature but wouldnt it also increase tyre wear?

running at road pressure will see your tyre pressures increase beyond what you see on the road but surely that would reduce tyre wear as the tyre is firmer and has less flex

wouldnt the answer be increase more psi?

[Richyboy]

Friday night in central london I saw this guy in a skeleton bandana riding around on a very LOUD quad bike, probably someone on here. I wish I took a picture, took me by surprise.

[Biker's Nemesis]

Hmmmm, is that wear caused by scrubbing because the tyre pressure is greater, taking the flexability out of the tyre and resulting in more wheel spin?
