Well today I bit the bullet. gOT SHOCKED
I just hate one of those days when you wake up and there's nothing to do. So you go to the garage, look at your orange baby and one thing lead to another. Thirty minutes later I'm on the road to my newfound friend parts/installer/suspension guy. In tow in the back bed are my forks and my shock. There's new blood in town and he goes by the name of Rick. Rick's a swell guy who just so happens to ride fast, fer a Hondaka rider that is. Rick (x41) rides in the real men class, the OVER 30 Expert class in TCCRA and with Brian Storrie on occasions and many others. Some of you locals will know who I'm talking about - don't want to upset the spammer-nuke here.
Rick has opened a new shop and I just figured that it was time to do something about my suspension, being that EXC 250's apparently come sprung for buck-fifty guys. At a modest 197-200 unclothed pounder, depending one what was for breakfast, my suspension was broken-in in about-oh, fifteen minutes when I bought her one year ago in April. No today we were going to conquer the unsprung hero. Today, we're getting the works. The WORKS I tell you!! The works.
For today goes down in history when money was paid for suspension work, which I alwasy thought should have only been reserved for new Glock semi-automatic handguns. We're getting Race Tech Gold Valves, Race tech new springs (for a REAL man), bushings, Race Tech oils and seals for the fronts and PDS-3 spring, bushings and seals, nitro valve, and oil for the rear. Today I am no longer an unpsrung-hero. Today I rise up to the top. Up where I belong. Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry, On a mountain high..... I spend hours there talking and finally make it home and walk in the door with what perhaps is one of the biggest , longest, largest smiles ever to spread among my cheecks, then wife asks How much is this gonna cost?...
