It looks like his front end is raked out and his bike just looked a little "nervous" out there....hopefully he gets if figured out. He just didn't look very smooth...

"Forks looks stiff, bike needs less sag (maybe one turn on the rear shock) so it'll hook-up better... he needs to ride with his elbows up more and get in the attack position. Smart and smooth man... race the track..."

I hope all of these riders looked a tad "sketchy". This means the riders are riding a tad out of their comfort zone.

As far as bike set up..... is it your bike? JS7 like his front end rigid. Leave it..... monday quarterbacks

Does this guy even ride, and even ride with proper technique?

Are you fucking kidding me? He looked more smooth than any other rider out there. Hitting lines with perfection.

I actually do, I'm rooting for him on the Zook. But just think he looked a little sketch, that's all....I would like to see him keep it on two wheels and battle for the championship.

I thought he was one of the smoothest out on the track. Almost didn't look like he was trying, but I also watch him with yellow tinted glasses.

Well I hopes he keeps it on two wheels tonight and gets a W on the yellow bike.

I agree on the position but he does not use the clutch except for starts.

My bet is he accepts a top 3/5 finish tonight and then goes out hunting for the championship from round 2 onwards....

RV may win A1, but as the season goes and the tracks get more technical, that's when you will see James shine! IMO

It's great! We adjusted the clickers, swapped the pull rods and changed the ignition curve for that little extra torque. Here, have a sticker!

James has looked sketchy for 11 seasons. He's also stood on top of a lot of podiums. There's a connection between those two things.

After the W tonight JS is finding a bar with J-bone and having some fatass jack & cokes while picking up some filthy white trash hookers!
