Service it.

Check there's plenty of meat on the brake pads.

Check there's plenty of meat on the tyres and they're not ling-long ditch-finder generals.

Check the geometry's set up right and add -0.5 degrees of negative camber to the front so it turns in better.

Make sure the bushes and suspension mounts aren't knackered.

Don't put it in the barriers.

Stop typing in capitals.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Do you still track a bike? Scary stuff... There's a few bike nuts on here.  Where've you been?
