    SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!! SUSPENSION FINALLY!

    I've finally "sprung" for suspension. Pete did my forks for me at the track last week (pete, your helper/worker was very professional and even came back to watch/help with the install).

    and... My ohlins triple adjustable is in the mail, My buddy from CT will be dropping the bike off to mike next week to get the geometry all set.

    Between getting traction confidence back with the pirelli stickies, and a suspension that doesn't bottom out around the track, i'm hoping to better my best times in the 18's by at least a second by season's end.
