Kevin,
Thank you for your very generous offer.
However,I think I'll ride for now untill next Memorial
day of 03. You see, I'm a Yankee transplant and the
summer heat down here just kills me. As a matter of
fact, Biketoberfest was my first ride since this
past April. So unlike my
brother from N.Y. who's putting up his Superhawk for
the winter, I'm looking forward to at least 6 really
good riding months. So the short of it is that I'll
send my shocks out next summer when that is MY
downtime. I have little tolerance for saulty sweat
running down my forhead burning my eyes, bluring my
vision while I'm riding. But hey, you gotta love
the winters down here.
-Pete
PS Where did you source the new Ohlins?
I thought they were all gone for the GTS.
