    Yes, that bike received some "rubber glove luvin". The whole things was just . Good info though from what I gathered from a far, far, far distance. Sure wish I could have watched. Just couldn't do it.

    Nah, I had some nekkid ladies cut out and pasted inside the manual.

    So, it looks like I'm reading, but I'm really, uh, you know.

    probably why pilot was looking down at that moment

    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain."

    We are going to have an "exclusive" sign up just for a suspension day here soon. I'll give you a hint, he's from Ohlins/Race Tech and services a number of professional AMA teams

    valve clearance and adjustment FTW.
    The cheapest mod that you can make to increase HP on two wheels is to remove the weight from the equation. In other words, put the spoon down once in a while and loose some fat off ur a*s ..lol.

    There do seem to be a lot of noobs on the board though (I'm new HERE, not on a bike) and maybe they aren't speaking up about oil changes, head bearings, fender eliminators...

    Just want to make sure nobody's being shy and we'll cover everything that needs to be covered.

    Can we include the suspension setup in the tech day for the people that can't attend the class in June?

    Good point, which is why we should have it on the 17th (not that I'm biased b/c that's the only one I can make). I'll bring the low fat rice cakes and Caffine free/low sodium Diet Coke.
