I suppose that makes sense, haha.

I was a little worried about posting the Bike Bandit parts diagrams, but I think those are distributed by Suzuki for public use anyways, right?

 

I don't know... It says bikebandit at the bottom, so they get free advertisement. I don't know why they would bitch. Not like you're making money off them anyway.

 

No, I didn't see that one. I was noticing if I goose it right when I land, my head suffers a little less.

 

plus i have a link going to their site, so they should probably thank me!

 

Hmm I'll have to try that next time. If you want to check out the video, its on the website's video section.
