No problem, i've only been riding for about half a year so i'm gonna be a wuss till i get a few more miles on this thing.
how much have you taken your strom on gravel? The best i've been able to do is around 45 in normal conditions ( not incredibly loose), but 35-40 most times. I'm out in the country a ways so the townships don't always have enough money to do a good job on upkeep.
Is there any place in the cities that has a good parts department? most everything around here takes two weeks just to get the wrong part..
