sweeet! that's a "style" i believe, hard as in linear soft as in circular!

i bet you remember more then you think! we have people come in all the time and say "i haven't done anything for 10 years" then 15 minutes later they can stumble through a form or technique and they don't know how lol it's amazing when u think about it!

muscle memory... 2000 clean reps of any movement, and your brain lists it as a "canned cycle".... an auto-pilot manuever, if you will... that's why you practice stuff like panic stops, emergency zig-zags, martial arts forms, fast draw, etc.... if the codgers that stumble through the remembered moves were in the same physical condition they were when last they practiced, the forms would probably be much more precisely executed....

It is almost unbelievable how much difference just one or two pounds of air will make. If you have the time I would suggest a test.
Put the correct pressure in your tires and ride some residential streets at night. At night your body is much more attuned to “feel” than during daylight. Then drop the air by five pounds and ride the same roads. Then drop the air another five and do it again. I can pretty much guarantee that you will come to believe that your suspension is failing. On a light bike like this, just surface temps alone will make a diference in your ride. Always suspect your tires first...your usually right!

Wiggly handling is usually a dead give away for low pressure.

I suspect it's due to the stiff steering preventing me from making micro adjustments.
