Better than new
Sun Apr 01, 2007 8:32 am
Just one of those kid with a new toy posts. Went to visit Terry Hay. Got me some gold valves and correct tension fork springs and a correct tension spring for the second hand Ohlins I already have at the rear. OMG I never thought my bike could handle this well, 55 posted corners on Terry's "test track" taken at twice that with more to spare no problem. It's still nearly a 10 year old chassis so it's not as quick to steer as a new 6 but it's at least three quarters of the way there from what my bike was like.
