Lesson learned though, I'm never running point with only 5 hours of sleep under my belt. I should have said something earlier in the day. I had the physical strength but apparently my CPU was a bit underpowered that day and the bike paid the price for it. I'm fortunate I 'slid' away scot free.

Actually, it has more power and that power comes on much earlier. It leads to better 'driveability' thus in daily driving it's far superior than old Oilhead boxer 11S. There, I said it.

But I was dragging hard parts on the UNDERSIDE of the bike... massively. Granted, those shocks had just seen a few miles fully loaded over - at times - rather odd terrain.. but I doubt they are even close to half as good as your suspension when new...

Oh yea, did Sergio say garage queen? He's joking right? Gotta know if he's joking before I say any further.
