The best quote was "Don't mess with your suspension".
Thanks Roloo

They didn't like it enough to make it their bike though, fools. As far as suspension, we all know now it needed to be changed to Ohlins to really work well.

Fair assessment. Its funny they did not like the turn signal switches. I didn`t like them either until I started riding bikes with the standard one switch...like my Triumph Daytona..I love everything about my Triumph but the turn switch...I like the dual paddle switches much better.
Thanks for posting RoLoo!

Sorry, I don't understand your question?? But yes, I have those magazines, if that's what it was.
