    Dave Rose = Wizard!

    And not just cause of the cool beard!

    He dialed in the R6 incredibly good at the Chicane day, totally eliminating some instability I was feeling in a couple places. Pueblo isn't a smooth track, but as long as I'm on the line, that thing is planted to the asphalt now.

    If you're tipping your bike into turns thinking "man this thing just doesn't feel right", there is a solution - Single Track Mind! It's just that simple.

    Re: Dave Rose = Wizard!

    There are very few things I can say bad about Dave and his operation:

    1) his dog is a mutt (wait, that's a good thing)
    2) he's got a long beard (shit, totally unique, another GOOD thing)
    3) Every time he touches my bike it goes faster (Wish he'd stop doing that, I'm running out of excuses for being slow)

    Dave has a proven track record of helping people go fast on whatever they choose to ride. He's outstanding at his craft and I can express nothing but thanks to him for making my season better. On top of all of that he's someone I'm proud to call a friend.

    CHEERS! to Dave and Single Track Mind!

    Being unable to make the actual material stickier, doesnt mean he can't make them "stick" better.

    +1000 for Suspension Dave and what he can do for any vehicle with adjustable suspesion.

    Re: Dave Rose = Wizard!

    I understand the context of your joke, I'm just saying you can keep the same tires and Dave can help them work better. Its not always the compound as much as the suspension, however I understand you were on street tires so that may be a far stretch

    Oh for sure... some people may just need suspension adjustments. I on the other hand just need to make the logical progression to race rubber

    He'll even change your tire at 11:30pm on a sunday night if you're completely stranded in FoCo. Dave rocks! I hear he does a bang up job on suspension too?

    p.s.and Jack is pretty cool as well

    Re: Dave Rose = Wizard!

    dang, i didnt realize he was that inexpensive. if i had known i would have had him take a look at my bike, i am feeling rather uncomfortable on it, partly cause of my height, but i was mostly blaming it on not being used to the bike as it was the second time on it, however after going down i think its time to make it match me.

    Can't wait to get my old Ninja back from him.

    Dave + Ohlins = much more stable bike.
