I honestly find this hilarious... take this from a guy who was ummm.... very... ummmm.. busy this summer:twisted: ...... experience trumps enthusiasm any day of the week. I've found that very few people who think 30 is old that can keep up with me....haha don't take it as offenceI'm just saying that I don't want to be driving these things when I'm 30. My friends and I have talked about this stuff and we all agree that we would give up our rockets by 30 for reason that I will keep to myself becuase you might be offended.
Newbie - suspension
Greetings. I've returned to biking after a LONG break. I had crotch rockets as a youngster (20's) and have just purchased a new 2007 ZX6R (at 44 yo!). I've only put just over 1k on it, so I'm still learning to be smooth and remember how to ride again. As a sports car road racer for ten years and a bit of a car buff, I feel very comfortable behind the wheel under any situation. There's a wonderful, twisty road near my house with lots of elevation changes and I'm four times faster in my beater Mazda pickup than I am with this bike! Quite embarrassing and frustrating!
Okay, to the point. Lots of adjustments that can be made on the suspension. I feel that it's a bit tight for street riding and our not so smooth conditions. From racing, I know that cranking on adjustments without knowledge is not a good thing. I'll never track the bike and soft would be fine for me, especially since I'm experiencing a lot of wrist pain thus far (I've read pointers on what not to do body positioning-wise, but still encounter pain and stiffness).
Thanks for any help.

well I guess I'll feel a little older then... the young ones (18-24) bore me... and yes I've been there several times within the last 6 months.
eh... more like they don't know what they're doing yet, and I get tired of teaching.You let them talk.... didn't you? :lol:
I'm partial to the ones that'll leave you crumpled in a heap on the floor at the end of the bed...
