Default NEW BIKE!!

I've had a blue pointy k5 for 2000miles now
only passed test in sep
as the roads are getting grippier I've started to fiddle with the suspension
I never really felt confident cornering on the bike
1st screwed down front preload one line, better but still nervous
2nd wound up rear preload 2 clicks, lots better
today lifted front forks up 4mm through yolks, WOW
turns in when asked, powers out on line, it just fills me with confidence
I now know flickability
next step, sticky rubber

& new tyres
