I remember one of the mags testing his bike and they said nobody could use his lever configuration.I dont recall the mag,I get them all,but what stuck with me is how they said his suspension was so good.He strikes me as a person who would take no less than perfection.I think they said they purposely came up short on a double and felt nothing.go figure.I dont know if I'd lend them bikes after they admitted to trying to tear them up.But I'm sure they have somebody there from Yamaha's camp watching them.
