Body position

Tomorrow, when you're out riding, try this. Tuck your feet in by placing the balls of your feet on the pegs and letting your heels touch gently against the subframe. Hunch you back and lean forward so that your elbows bend and bring your forearms parallel to the ground. Now, clench the tank tightly with your thighs and at the same time, clench your stomach muscles. This will take a significant amount of weight off your wrists. Now, focus back on the bike and you will suddenly notice it feels lighter, more agile, and more tactile. This isn't the easiest way to ride around, but it certainly is magical in how it changes the bike feels. The harder you hug the bike with your legs, and the more weight you can take off your wrists, the better this will feel.
