Default Greek - Have you read this month's Ride magazine?

I fear we're never going to hear the end of how good Falcos are.......

He he. Yes I have mate. Good ain't it.

I agree with all he says. Im currently looking at a new rear shocker... Though the other day I spent an hour playing with suspension settings on front and back and testing by riding round the local bypass (lots of fast roundabouts to test on) and MAN the difference! I can get on the power WAY earlier and now instead of being on the power meaning it felt like the front was pushing wide it now makes it lean further pull a tighter line and feel more composed!

Ive nearly warn all the numbers off the edge of the tyre in the 150 miles since I sorted it... Id been to the edge before but now I can get the power down at that lean its great.

Cheers. You know you want one

Luckily I'll be getting something else.

Although I had a sit on a dorsaduo or whatever they're called today and though it'd make a great commuter, looked pretty sweet in the flesh, just a tad expensive at 6.5k.....

Aye it is. We should get a ride organised to go up there. Maybe I can master mind it. Ill look into it.

its not a massive issue with the Choppers (cops) as most corners you cant take more than the speed limit (50mph... *******s) so it just means out of corners and between them you have to take care of the speeds.
