You've got to get in line 'cause there's a few folks ahead of you... ;D

Unfortunately, Rick has been busy with $$$ producing endeavors lately...

I wish it were so but it's more like a labor of friendship.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

I'm interested, but have a track cleanup day on Sat and will be late, if I make it down at all...

11am and after (to a point). I have to do an oil & filter change on a 560SL and then send it out for wheel alignment afterwards (grumble, grumble ...... separate story). But then it's all bikes. The preload won't be too bad but you will have to do some riding to get the damping set.

You are pretty much set. Unless you want me to check how the damping is working.  [evil]

Bumpy freeways & off/on ramps here we come.

I seem to remember one decently winding road that wasn't all that far from BME...  Just sayin'...

It's not particularly well suited for getting good adjustment settings.  You need higher speeds and/or longer sustained corners to get a good feel for how things are working.

I will definitely take up your offer if it still stands...I'm really mechanically declined/reclined? when it comes to bikes and would definitely appreciate the help!
