When I first started riding my CeeGee I only used the steering lock. Anyway that ended when a thief actually managed to smash the steering lock off using a hammer and a large bladed screwdriver.

These days I use one of these:

actually, i very much do.

as of now, i have no more desire to get another literbike.

im actually considering blowing $1,700 for a GP suspension upgrade w/ penske shocks since i intend to keep my bike as long as it still runs.

Why not perfect your riding skills before you spend any more cash you can't afford?

Did you get a job yet?

eh? i have a job. im just looking for a different one.

you know... what most serious riders do 1st for their bike is suspension and tires. i agree w/ them.

i don't need more power BUT i need my bike to be handle better.

the stock suspension on my bike is just not suited for people that weigh as light as me. my bike is very bumpy. you can see it on the vid i posted. the road on that vid is not even bad.

i can't even set my static sag from the stock suspension, which is pretty much one of the very 1st things anybody should do to their bike, or should i say sportbike.

Thanks. It was ok, but it will be better when you find a better way to attach the camera.
