Ractech and a rotting stench

[BigOne]

Go Robert!
I liked the gear I bought from you, and the way the slightly stiffer springs I needed turned up the next day, etc.
What I liked most however, was the way the Ohlins back end and RaceTech bits installed in the front end transformed my SV650 and turned it into a gixxer hunter.
One $ spent on the suspension of almost any bike is worth $10 spent on the motor. The price seems high for good suspenders, but once you fit good equipment, the only thing you are left wondering is why you took so long to get it.
That's my opinion.

oops, double post

Is this tragic train wreck of a thread still going?

Some prominent foreign psychiatrist visited this country about 1970 and received much publicity with a statement to the effect that one in every five people is suffering some mental disorder.

Reading this thread does nothing much to dispel that theory

That was after the election in 1972 Pritch!

Viscount Montgomery,

I was just wondering, not so much as to identify you, but rather to put some perspective on your position, can you please tell me what industry you are in?

I'm picking he's a motorcycle mechanic.

Is that true katman?

[tri boy]

Doubt that he is a m/cycle mechanic. (a trained/qualified one at least)
More like a union shit stirrer.

Its not an opinion, its a fact.

Or perhaps an ACC accountant? That would explain his grasp on reality....

[Viscount Montgomery]

Well I guess good luck for that wish....I am privy to this guys identity. But in spite of his ungentlemanly conduct and inability to accept other viewpoints I am not tempted to publish it for everyone to know. It is his choice to gutlessly hide behind his ''stage name'' while slinging lots of mud and also his own choice to divulge more personal details.
I can only guess that like all of us he is just as implicated in the personal and national hypocirsies that blight our civilizations. We all want our cake and eat it too.
Ill get blighted in some quarters for saying this, but Im only reciting what many will think

Ah, here we go again, I've been away for a week, working, (in the forestry for the curious ) and this shit is still going round in circles. Good for the egotists it must be. Taylor, YOU'VE been slinging mud at me the whole time huh? Mr know-it-all with all the answers still on his high horse eh? Getting a bit bored now are we and looking for more action huh?

Because 95% of people on these forums have no desire to broadcast their own name and details to all and sundry on the internet, it makes them gutless does it? Your arrogance is showing again. I don't have the self-promoting agenda of self-interest as you do Mr know-all. Because someone decides to use their own name rather than a 'stage name' on a forum, it automatically makes them a 'better' person does it? Taylor, you're so far up yourself it's incredible.

I'm also not surrounded with an entourage of fawning, boot-licking followers who are totally convinced the sun shines directly out of their masters' shiny backside either.

Ie.. I took my bike to "them' and they twiddled my knobs with a special ohlins screwdriver and stroked and lubed my shaft with a special blend of brasso and ohlins snake oil and wow! my bike is so amazing now, it's just wonderful! The 2000 bucks it cost was worth every penny!

Sorry, but the placebo effect doesn't work on the non-gullible...

Anyone who disagrees with this Taylor characters' self-righteous, all-knowing manner is immediately dismissed with imperious disdain as an idiot/moron/retard.

Anyone who has the temerity to do their own mods or their own thing is an idiot/moron/retard. Anyone who doesn't pander to the desperate clutching middlemen in this country is an idiot/moron/retard. Anyone who won't sit back and submit to over-pricing or blatant profiteering is an idiot/moron/retard. Anyone not prepared to spend mega-bucks on overpriced top-of-the-line products is an idiot/retard/moron. Anyone who doesn't buy into the used-car-salesman hype is an idiot/retard/moron...

That's how all this self promoting garbage comes across to me. Best you put your head down, do your job and keep your lofty opinions of your own worth to yourself and zip the mouth shut Taylor.

Abuse be fucked! I'm telling it how it is, got any more trumped up words for me?

When are you returning to planet 'Forest' , soon I hope.

For the record, this fawning acolyte still has the first sixpence he ever earnt , a fact my business partner is constantly telling people. I looked very carefully at what was available before making my choice as I had no great desire to send large amounts of money RT's way is I did not have to.
I bought a Racetech kit for the front end from a local guy, nice bloke, but was of almost no use when it came to info or advice regarding installation, I figured I would fit it myself , got an engineering background how hard could it be.
The fitting was almost a piece of piss , the tuning was where my lack of knowledge really kicked in, I'm getting there, way better than it was standard but still a couple of things I have to try to see if I can get it better. In retrospect I should have gone straight to RT & saved myself a heap of shagging around, I don't really regret what I did as it has been a learning experience that has cost me a bit of time, oil & a few minor parts but I am in no doubt the RT would have got me to the same point a hell of a lot quicker
The Ohlins shocks came later, the cost made my eyes fair water, It was the right choice for me, the cheaper shocks were not going to hold up & nothing else available came with RT's backup. They came as speced by RT , bolted then on &' Bob's yer bloody uncle'

I've done it both ways now, with RT's backup & without, I know which way is easier & in the long run more cost effective [ not cheaper ]

I suggest you save your money, buy off the web ,then you will spend so much extra time sorting it out you won't have any spare time to give us earache.
