Yeah it was one of the things that made me buy it - it needs to be set up for me though i think - The sale still included the receipt for the shock and your not far off fella - the model is the 8981 2-Way - and the Jack Up rear-end i am sure definatley makes a difference ...

Heh,heh....reel em in(wondered how long it would take.....)
Then again,if you knew me you'd understand why me & the word potter never seem to get mentioned in the same sentence unless my young lads on the back,which in saying that has so far been the vast majority of the short time i've owned this bike)30yrs riding experience means when solo i'm just a tad past potteringunless on the rear wheel,oops sorry....i mean rear occasions it appeals to me.

I've only just turned 37 btw(hope that does'nt make me old.)
