    Nice write up Drew. everyone was goofing off when you took off from the start line, pretty impressive.

    So it seems. Shouldn't have talked Scrivy into getting us a front instead of a rear!

    Fronts normally last a fair while, depends how you ride it to how long the rear will go, not long with your heavy hand I'd say

    Loose is fast on a short chair. Any one riding one that can beat Scrivy, is welcome to disagree of course.

    It won't be as bad once we get a softer spring at the front though. Can sacrifice some exit stupidity with later braking methinks.
