[Robert Taylor]

This coming Saturday ( 4th of July! ) Cyclespot Honda on Barrys Point road Takapuna are having a promotional day with lots of greatt deals on apparel etc.
I will be there for the day offering free bike suspension setup help and advice. Or just if you want a chat about suspension, etc. All questions are good questions, all welcome.

Sounds like a great idea.
If it isn't raining (I'll bring the bike) I'll come and ask you some questions about my bike and setup, I'd like to see how well my understanding of suspension holds up.

Sweet! I'll definitely be making an effort to get up their Rob, you can check your handy work on the R1. Another example of giving back to the sport.

Thanks Cyclespot for putting on an awesome day.
Glad to have met up with you Rob and thanks for fine tuning the suspension, see you out on the circuits. The service you provide is un-equalled in NZ mate, thanks for all the advice, hints and tips. Where were you 20yrs ago!!!!
Catch up again soon.

20 years ago ''Superbikes'' only had about 60% of the power, frames were a lot less nervous and rigid, tyres were also a lot narrower and far less grippy. Factors all that challenged suspension far less.
In real terms suspension now has a much much harder job of keeping up with it all.

Mmmm, I'd thought I had bigger balls back then (everything shrivels up over time!). Will have to see if I still have what it takes next season. Certainly wont be the equipment that lets the side down!

Soon! And before anyone else jumps in there is no-one yet accredited in Wellington on the Ohlins side of things. Being an Ohlins agent / technician is also about attending the relevant training schools and satisfying technical and marketing criteria.

I thought Kerry Dukkie was telling everyone he was your dealer in Wellington??

The only Ohlins dealers / service technicians are those officially authorised. Christchurch is established subject to some further training. Auckland is currently in limbo as is Wellington and strict criteria has to be met. No further discussion until that is satisfied and set in concrete.

Neither did I. :pinch:
Coulda done with some expert tweaking of my rear shock so Robert's fettling of the forks are well matched. I think it's pretty good now, but I don't have a well-calibrated arse-ometer. :confused:

while robert isn't a smoker...I'm sure he could aquire a lighter or some matches...would go a long way to improving your 929 aswell :)

[The Stranger]

Damn, looks like I could have afforded that rear shock after all.
