Farkn Fantastic.
Have not had a ride day since my off at Philip Isl a while ago. Gotta admit I was a little timid. Especially on left hand turns, (coz thats how I had my off at the Isl).
New paint job, forks resealed, new tyres, and I was scared shitless of left handers and even right handers gave me the jitters.
I used to be so fast (in my books) at Eastern Creek. Crap, I was so slow on Sat, I could have walked it faster.
I went to the on site suspensions guys, and gave them my $$. They did adjustments, I went out, felt no different, so they made some more. Still felt no different. Still felt SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! WITH A CAPITAL ESSSS.
Come in "WHITNEY'S WHEEL WORKSHOP. pH 0418 461 189. I suspect they call him Whitlney coz he looks like Michael Whitney, but I could be wrong.
His first adustments (FOR FREE) improved greatly on what the PAID FOR guys did.
Not knowing what I wanted made it hard for me to tell him what I wanted him to do. But after a ride on Blackzooks 1441, I knew exactly what I wanted - What he has. So I said to Whitney, "I want what He's got." I then went out for a track session, and Whitney spent the WHOLE session working on my suspension FOR FREE!!!!! When I went out for my next session - holy sheit, I could not belive the difference.
It had changed from riding around corners scared, to pushing as hard as I dared. No Bullshit. Seriously, No Bullshit. Seriously, Seriously, it was a completly differnt bike - I was Valentino, or Casey, or whoever you follow. Fk, I was impressed.
I thought I had lost my Mojo from my crash at Philip Isl., What I had lost since putting it back together was suspension settings.
Seriously. Having someone who knows what they are doing with suspension, and telling them what it feels like, vs what you want it too feel like, makes riding so much more fun I cant describe...... Hang on yes I can... Zoom Zoom Zoom.
Tycho
