EVERYBODY who has ridden my bike comments on how it just absorbs road imperfections and lets you get on with the ride, because i have spent quite some time sorting out the suspension. with your own bike it gradually gets worse and you don't notice it/ride around the problem and you just accept it.
a set of proper weight matched springs and fresh oil/regas will be the best money you ever spend on a bike............unless you fit a 5bar turbo of course!
The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money!
