I don't know who you are, but using someone else's account is a forum offence, when Paul finds out who you are and what you've been saying, he's going to kick your arse!!!!

thanks spider, didn't take long for the attitude to be brought out of retirement though, went for a ride over nebo this morning and the traffic nazi's had a FG XR6 turbo, white, unmarked and not only was he going about 30 kmh under the posted speed, he moved two wheels into the dirt and tried to wave me past on an unbroken white line! that's just dirty pool in my book!

p.s, i stand by my previous statement, shame the decent ones are few and far between, especially in traffic!

true bloke, that's not good! would have pissed them off no end that you didn't fall for it, so there's readsons to be happy!

and on with the positives.....I read you've been having to adjust your ride height...so you've obviously had a growth spurt and got a bit taller too Wink

funny bastard! laughingdp
the front was a little firm and i couldn't get right to the edge of the front tyre, so with the front forks 7mm through, i have gone a further 3mm to a total of 10mm, wound the preload off 1 turn and backed the compression off 2 clicks. with my tell tale on the fork leg i'm now getting within 10 to 15mm of the bottom of the slider so i added a huge 3mm of rear ride height to compensate for the flatter profile rear tyre i prefer compared to the rounder profile of the front.
it now handles NIIIIIIIIIICE! waytogo waytogo [moto]

Talk about a pointless exercise, in a very short portion of road yesterday, we had a Cop on a bike with a Radar, less than 2 k's away we had the the Speed Camera van and then about 3k's after that, we had another Radar trap.

Sad part is I was stuck behind a guy in a Ute and he went past all 3 of these with his Mobile phone glued to his Ear and not once did they pull him over.

I see this guy all the time (he lives a couple of streets away from me) and he is always on that damned phone! He has driven up on a traffic island, he has driven along 20k's below the speed limit while veering all over the road. And yet when I rang the Cops and reported him (he nearly ran into me at a set of lights near my place the other day because he was chatting away on the phone) they said there was nothing they could do.  Roll Eyes

I have given up on the (Traffic) Cops and the Politicans, they are all Retards

What!  bang head Don't you have the mobile phone laws other states have.  They've just tightened them here in Vic so that even if the phone is just sitting in your lap it's an offence.

But have to agree with you - I see lots of people using them whilst driving but don't know of anyone that's ever been fined for it.
