The last time I had a bike break down on me was the last round of the Nats at pukekohe and this was also the first engine I had raced on tha chris didnt build and the motor I broke before that was in 2003 and chris didnt build that one either so that is four years without a mechanical DNF and im bloddy hard on gear to.
    He is amazing also with suspension setup Robert Taylor will vouch for that he is very fussy as most people that are any good at anything are some of you guys would get a huge improvement out of dealing with chris so all I can say is give him a go.

    Cheers

    I hope you're refering to a certain top triple clamp and not the the fact I was giving Craig shit??
    I only use the forks on my bike half the time anyway, why would I need any more?

    Chris set up my suspension a couple of weeks ago and it is great.
    He explained everything as he went, printed out the base, road and track settings so I can make changes if I want and made some recommendations for improvements. All at a very reasonable rate.

    Top marks and highly recommended, cheers Chris

    If he's still tuning that other guy's bike it seemed to work pretty well yesterday at Wanganui.
