Yah that bike got me, when we raced you'd jump me off the line by 3-4 bikes and I had to play catch up. that race we finished side by side I left in 1st and short shifted 2. It was better.. but you still smoked me off the line. As the day went I got better at getting it off the line. I started hanging my ass off the back of the seat.. lol. It really needed a gear change.. but.. I dont like to wrench when i get to the dunes unless I have too... or its really easy fix. lol. Slim rode my bike later that nite.. I think he was faster on it then I was!
