Were you heavy on the front end, weighting the front with your upper body on the controls? I had a similar experience at the gap, shook me a little but at the name time taught me a lot.

I thought weight on the front was good? I don't think I had a huge amount of weight over the front, I can't think about how I ride when I'm off the bike. But I may have to reevaluate that as I'm riding tomorrow.

Use your core/back strenght to hold up your body weight when you're sitting upright and use your leg planted against the tank to support your weight while cornering. It takes some getting used to, but you will not believe how much stability it adds to your bike throughout cornering. |

Hold your bars no tighter than you'd hold an empty bottle of water without hearing it crinkle or a tube of toothpaste without squeezing anything out of it.

Something still seemed up today. I really need to look at my tires...
