	Hmmm, I'll check mine. I've recently noticed an "interesting sensation"
in fairly hard cornering that feels almost like a slight rear tire slide. I
really can't believe it's actually sliding because I just really don't turn it
that hard and I also haven't heard any suspicious noise like I'd expect from a
spinning/sliding rear tire. The footpags aren't even scraping when it happens.
The sensation comes and goes in a rapid oscillation, almost like it could be
bumps in the road. I had convinced myself this weekend that I might be
bottoming out the rear suspension in turns even though opening the throttle in
turns should be helping to bring the suspension up. Perhaps the wheel has some
play, though. Or maybe I'm just not using enough throttle in turns! Tires are
still stock BT57's. I don't think they're out of round - I only notice it in
turns, but maybe I'll check that, too...
