    You sir are a cocktail stick.
    I can back up all I say but whats the point were way off topic so I've attempt to pull away.
    Unfortunately your like a dog with a bone.

    I race to enjoy myself scooby laptimes come 2nd.
    I'm too old and skint to push for a 44. I'm not far off though ;-)

    My points
    I recommended K tech

    My disagreement
    The 110mph comment and dismissal of stock

    My input
    A stock bike is still very quick

    That was all.

    Buy what you want
    I have so much on my bike it's stupid and i don't need half of it.

    If you want it buy it :)

    cocktail stick? at least be man enough to say a proper insult theres a good chap.

    if you can back yourself up,then stop being a baby and deleting your posts,and back yourself up,i just find it funny that in 1 post you claim standard suspension(and bike for that matter) are capable of doing sub 44's (which i have no argument with,but the main factor here is talent,not lack of bike upgrades) but then as you race you need to upgrade your bike eve though your not doing those times,it's just contradiction.

    the simple fact is that eeryon buys bling,upgrades for thier bike that aren't "really" needed,but we do it anyway because we can and want to,not forgeting the placebo effect it has on us,that we think we can go faster becuse we have (insert upgrade here).however,there are imo certain things tat do allow us to go faster (suspension being 1 of them).

    anyway,the OP can do what he wants,and i'd much rather see people spend money on suspension that will aid riding as opposed to the latst full system or brembo disc etc.

    i to have stuff on there tat i dont really need,but again,i do it because i can,and some of the things do help me go faster (not sub 44 fast,yet ;) )

    That gear is a total waste of money, time and effort Arthur. What a load of old rubbish, you don't 'NEED THAT' .

    If I was you I would give it to that old git Exfire and he can trundle around his country roads riding at 10 mph cos he aint a racer and can't ride a bike fast like a racer can.

    No offence to nice racers like scooby :)

    Sorry, I said I wasn't posting on this thread anymore.....this is probably definitely my last post on this thread, well er....unless I change my mind.

    Shiny shiny bits with extra performance potential, Magpie, you bet I am lol. Nice to see the pics again Arthur, even though I get jealous.

    I will taunt you with my Bitubo cartridges when I get them.

    How many dudes have bought their partners new babalons and then not noticed the performance difference?

    Doesn't matter coz they look good!!!!

    No offence meant to the ladies out there.

    Me Stating that a standard bike is capable of that time has no bearing on my bike at all.
    It was mearly a fact with no contradiction implied.

    No insults have been thrown just banter to your power comments

    I'm no baby by any means.

    No experience of them m8.
    I use Colin at 100% suspension and have been very happy.

    He does a very good deal and includes a set up day at a TrackDay
