I think it's funny when he puts it in the regular page and his blog as well.. I should start doing something like that. I'm crazy tempted to just start copying and pasting a quote from my blog into every one of Verm's new threads. They seem to get more hits then my blog does. I'm an attention mean tooooooo!
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

maybe we need to rename the forum to "Total Verm Talk" and even "Total Verm's Motorcycle Website"

has a nice ring to it.

I think he is riding with half a tank in more ways than one.

yes, i agree haven't... i should done it until i hit the rev limiter.

thats not what i meant, any moron can get in a car, on a bike or in a boat and push it to the max speed with little practice and little skill. You havent used all the power in your bike till you are accellerating through each gear at the exact right time to extract all the power, flawless shifting, and while doing this on a course not just a straight line, until you can do that, you arnt using all your bike, thats more what i meant. :)

I might not know what the heck I am talking about, but how can anyone adjust your suspension for you? I adjust mine to accommodate my riding style, or to change the way the bike reacts when going over bumps, turning etc... I just don't see how anyone can adjust suspension for you without knowing how it feels for you to begin with.

they can't adjust it to all your needs but i need them to adjust it for me for the "static sag" setting.

anyway, i went to race tech today, they checked and made measurements. they said the fron is fine but the rear is too stiff but they can't do much more unless i change my springs they said or get a full shock upgrade.

they adjusted as much as they could but they said it's not gonna be a big difference but it should help.

they didn't even charge me for it.

i asked how much for a full suspension upgrade for both front and rear and they said about $800. i think i can find somewhere else cheaper when im ready for it.
