I know that

but it "must" translate.
Whether you go over a jump at 30mph on a mountain bike or 60mph on a motorbike, the suspension of both bikes behave identically.
No arguments please - Mountain biking suspension was derived from motor bike suspesnion. They damp, rebound and preload 100% identically.
It's the effects of body positioning and the throttle I want to know about.... What nutty said about holding the tank with the knees doesn't really make sense to me.
Why would I want to grip the tank with my knees and make myself more rigid?
What should I be doing with the throttle?
