lol.. gotcha. Sweet! I'm in the gwinnett area but I ride all around. I was going to go riding with ninjazx6r636 this past weekend but had to get some things done.

This weekend would have been good but rain saturday but sunny sunday.

Hopefully one warm day we'll all meet up and have a good ride!

GOOD. I really like doing stoppies and haven't had a good enough front tire on the zx to practice them. But yeah changing forks is a pain. I thought I was going to have to change a clip on and almost said fuck it before i realized the change would be unnecessary.

should know better then do stoppies on 03-04 forks. their notorious for egg shapping in the lower fork casting and SNAP!!!! thats why any guy you see stunting an 03-04 636 will have forks off a 05 or newer. Bill @ full throttle can machine inserts in the lower fork halves to keep that from happening but it makes the front end a lot heavier.

stoppies are probly the hardest trick to really master. Cuz once your up and you go a lil to far...there is NO coming back. Usually results in broken collar bones and bruised legs cuz the bike drives you into the ground like a nail. Especailly if your running a Flat 12o'clock bar...aslo know as the "chopping block" cuz thats exactly what it does if it comes down onto your legs. Enjoy!!!
