If you aren't setting lap records with these you shouldn't be on a motorcycle.

Those are the old standard forks. The new ones are gas charged. They prevent cavatation and reduce the effects of hysteresis. Our data has shown that when stuffing your face at shaft speeds over 12 meters/second, the food will fly off the fork and become lodged in the air chamber of the operator. The resulting violent air expulsion separates the food medium and damping control is lost (cavatation). If too much food is forced into the air chamber, past this expulsion point, there is a reversal of damping pressure waves. The sudden rise in negative pressure out side the air chamber crates a positive pressure wave inside the air chamber and results in the collision of wave fronts inside the air chamber. While the air chamber is building pressure there is a significant negative pressure wave affecting the pressure in the air chamber (hysteresis). Basically, you blow chunks. Hold out for the gas charged forks.

The only thing that will help your times is race NOT hungover. So if you want I can find a replacement for your spot in the rv and garage next year.

Speaking of the garage we have to get away from that Kates character. I was told that garaging next to him would make me faster. What a bunch of bullcrap.
