    Too many wheelies Chadwick?
    If God told me I was going to die riding a motorcycle, I'd still ride.
    If he told me I was going to die in my sleep, I'd become an insomniac.

    Sounds like it's time for another wheelie school. It's all about setting them down nicely. You know how I wheelie and you know I did them ALOT!!! I didn't have to replace my fork seals until after 20,000 miles.

    I'm fairly curious why yours is knocking now. If you don't take it to a shop and want help tearing it down let me know...
