    Just taken 6kg's off the bike today, ive taken off headlights, rear light, standard muffler, bracket.

    The bike is LOUD now, has some serious grunt, i can now say its up there in power with my old FXR.

    The bike now weigh's 112kg which is getting better from the origional weight of 127kg.....

    You get used too swapping between them.

    Sereval GP riders use road shift. No real advantage.

    He would only be 80kg after we strapped a couple of bags of potatos to his back

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    Thats the problem, you'd be faster ifyou were fatter, more weight will increase the contact patch of the tyres, help the suspension work in the right part of its stroke and hold the bike down harder over the bumps at Mt Welly. EAT MORE PIES

    I like the way you think
    That means I should be the fastest on the track by a long way
