And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Plus it has a very crisp, very responsive throttle bark. I mean instant and it doesn't even have the Akro remap yet. |

And what? ? ?  There's a real good chance I may pull the baffle back out. The throttling is way better after the remap and actually makes it a bit easier to ride even though the throttle is much more sensitive. I know that seems like an oxymoron but it's tricky to explain. I also cranked in one more notch of rebound stiffness on the front & the rear and that helped the suspension noticeably. The little shake and roll when hitting bumps in high speed corners may be gone and that may have helped some of the tight low speed hairpins too. It might also be due to the fact the I'm learning more / adapting quicker to the changes too. |

When I say "terrorize" I just mean that I'm a noise nuisance up there. I'm still working on getting sort of fast with the bike but the road keeps getting worse and there has been lots & lots of traffic up there lately. Since there is only a 2dB difference with the baffle in or out and no difference in the noise level at high rpms I will likely take the baffle out the next time the opportunity comes along.  |

Took a ride up Tantalus this morning, not fun at all with the road surface as bad as it is. Looks like the pot hole patrol was up there very recently as evidenced by the gravely loose packed patches all over the place...these, with unrepaired deteriorating portions of the road and the lumpy, poorly repaved sections make it a big time obstacle course...   |
