    Yes it does sound far fetched , but given your left wing delusions, your happy diposition and your vertical ineptitude its the only possible conclusion.

    While I see your point regarding biology, I think you'll find Robert's post was figurative.
    I believe Robert's implication was that you resemble a small, battered turd, in which case of course he is correct.

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    Absolutely no problem with that whatsoever!

    The ability for an Ohlins to soak up bumps yet still give a firm ride in this main reason I am going for the TTX.

    The general consensus on many US forum boards is that Ohlins typically give a harsher ride. I suspect that is mainly because of inadequate setup and lack of support for road users over there.

    That consensus is indeed a crock of shit!

    I think his last Pharagraph is true over there mate, the service Ohlin's NZ gives to customers, is way more than any where else in the world! Robert takes his job seriously with passion, to much some times but hey that;s the customers gain and his wifes loss

    Yes, I've seen too many satisfied reports from TTX street riders like yourself to believe otherwise.

    EVERY Ohlins shock that we sell we configure with spring rate and as neccessary internal valving for the end user, also taking into account that here in NZ we have a much much higher percentage of bumpy, challenging roads. It is always with a wry smile that we sometimes recieve a shock that has been parallell imported, its oversprung or undersprung or overvalved / undervalved and we have to optimise to our conditions. Charged for at the going rate. The offshore faceless internet parasites that sell into our market do nothing to help our economy / employment and havent the first idea of our roading conditions.
    If we have an end user that is not quite happy with the end settings we make further changes as neccessary, all at no extra cost excepting freight recoveries. Its also not cut and clear in trusting ''spring rate selection charts'' Many of these ( especially from the US ) are too aggressive in rate selection, everyone has a different perception of what they want, one mans meat is another mans poison. Etc....

    Consumption tax in most of Scandinavia is 25% But then the vikings are also rather better paid and not burdened by costly historical grievance etc, just Muslim immigration enforced upon them by the European community....Silly
    But they do make rather nice shock pistons, the latest one is a work of art and works really well.

    Didn't even need a hook on my line did I?

    Sounds like another test going in the right direction................must admitt I'd never found the standard ttx to be harsh at all, probably my soft butt took up the slack.........does it come with a No Highside guarantee? hahaa

    And i'd be happy to pay extra tax if I knew it was going to the right place...............unfortunately I don't expect a government any time soon that has the balls to "just say no".

    Oops off topic....as you were!!
