          Read this article before, but its worth reading a second and third time! I love how they say it can go, stop, and steer, just never 2 at once. Haha! Sounds like time for fork emulators and a fork brace!

              Agree

              Saw it before but worth another read. I like this bike more every time I ride it.
              Nice to see such a positive article. Haven't missed the boat one bit lol
