I too have always found that the integrity of the lower half of my body is important!
Interesting what they say about grabbing the bike by the ankles, and also running in on wide open throttle in high gears. I guess two stroke race bikes (or any race bikes for that matter) don't really do part throttle. When I had four strokes with full race cams, I always thought something was seriously wrong on the warm up lap as I spluttered and popped around the track on part throttle, fine for the race, then it ran rough again on the slowdown lap.
