Recently, at a BWW's experience, one of our members mentioned that they would like to see less drama and more bike tech, technique, etc.

In the spirit of that convention I found this short article from Motorcyclist.
http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/howto/122_0610_20_pro_motorcycle_roadracing_tips/


Each tip is taken from a different racer. Code, Pridmore, Schwantz, Lawson, Roberts, to name a few.

It is an easy read and it is interesting to see the techniques weave their way from one rider's suggestion to the next.

Hey Mike,

Sorry I didn't spend a bit of extra time looking to see if this was a repost(sarcasm in the color of your cartoon) doing searches for links, et al, can be time tasky if one doesn't recall something about them.

Seriously though, maybe for a person or two it was worthwhile. Better to have some overlap than no coverage at all. I reviewed the link you posted and saw no comments from you on that one. Perhaps you might take a moment to review some of the rider's suggestions and give your own point of view from your riding experience. I'm sure that it would be of value to numerous riders.

Im just being a clown. There is some awesome info there for sure. The only thing i would say is everyone could benifit from reading tips like those.

As far as the repost thing goes, it was all in poking a little fun. After all the other post is on the same page like 5 down from yours.

And I tend to be too serious. When I posted up I just grabbed on to the technique posts and filed up without looking through the first few pages. It didn't even cross my mind. However, I will try to make more of an effort to eyeball down the list. It would have been better had I given cred to the original poster and then added a few comments.
