Chicken Strips - Riding Technique Puzzler...

Went out for a brisk run out with a friend with his new S2R today. Whilst comparing bits in the pub car park we both noticed how different our tyres were marked.

He's a slightly bigger lad then me, and we tend to ride at about the same pace.

Our rears are similiar, however he's rubbing off a couple of extra MMs to me, but the biggest difference were the fronts, where I'm scrubbing off much of mine where as his more closely match his rears?

Now as he's a more experienced rider then me I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong in the bends? Anyone hear have any theories to what could be happening and what I should look for in my cornering?

The only other thing might be different is I have my tank bag on when I picked up on this, which I guess forces me slightly back away from the front... Need to take closer notice to the wear without the bag before I convince myself that has something to do with it though...
