Ack Shirley, there's a guy on the Mrkn VFR Owners forum who was very taken with Dr Foale's stuff, and is making (or has made?) his own Hossack-framed VFR800. :eek5:
I must find it and post it...

You are well beaten to the count by a number of people. Havent had time to open my copy, has sat for 6 months.

By opening, and using said software, would you not free up some time for other things?

Bugger Tony Foale and the rest of the alt.suspension nerds who think we all want to ride Hossack forked DN-01s.

Bugger them and their "revolutionary" changes to the good old bicycle with an engine format. I don't want easy to use transport. I want a bike that scares the sheeple away.
