Sounds like you need to upgrade the wife before you upgrade the Buell.

You'd only be doing it for looks since your skills aren't in demand for a suspension upgrade.

:iagree: track the shit out of that thing, and don't waste your money.

When you start running laptimes that are limited by the stock suspension, then buy some ohlins goodness.

Didn't ask for 'skills' assessment from two people who have never seen me ride, Thank you.

It was good advice. I haven't seen you ride, but I guarantee your skills don't require a $2500 set of forks, dude. Spend it on 20 track days instead.

Well...I guarantee you're not nearly as fast as me and I'm riding just fine on my stock suspension that I got tuned at the track. Just trying to talk you out of something that the money could be used elsewhere...like having those dicks surgically removed from your asshole.

Fuck off. I wasn't gonna buy them anyway. Just found them on a search. Eat shit.

If I posted up everything I thought was cool but not gonna buy, I would get flamed, too. This is your flaming. Calm down, young buck.

While it's a generally agreed upon fact that marko is a (loveable) asshole, I gotta side with him on this one. I enjoyed drooling over the ohlins goodness and didn't even consider whether he needed them or not.

The rims that came on my bike were 2 grand new, they save precious pounds and improve the handling tremendously but do I get even close to taking advantage of 5% of the handling potential? hahahahahahahahahaha jesus fucking christ no. How about those gilles rearsets, do I need the rear biased foot position because I would have been constantly dragging toe with the stock pegs? Fuck no. I didn't get the full potential out of my old sv650.

Are any of us inhibited by the performance from stock exhaust cans and can't get the full potential out of the bike until we slap on the full racing system and power commander for an extra 5 horsepower? No.

Bottom line; retarded expensive racing jewelry is schweet. On a street bike or top of the line race bike, I still enjoy looking at it and appreciate the sentiment of wanting to enjoy the best of the best equipment.

And before you say it marko, I know, fuck me, you can defend yourself. :)

I would only buy forks like that for a track bike... I would never track-only a Buell. They don't crash particularly well and have zero on the top end...

That being said, the forks did make my dick get hard...

Whatever. He posted something that made him drool, like every time I see a set of Ohlins forks. He said he had the cash but his wife would kill him which made me think he was semi-serious (I've bought shit even though I knew the wifey would be pissed, like my Tacoma for example), which made me post about not needing them, which spawned his reply, which ultimately spawned your reply, which spawned me telling you to eat a bag of dicks. :panic:

Now I gotta say I was just kidding because I was, but you proly woulda blew up if I didn't. I was serious up to the bag of dicks comment.

You guys are right. I shouldn't drool over a set of top shelf forks. I should probly browse eBay for a chrome stretched swingarm.

WOW that is fucking retarded.

Why not just buy a car? Then you'd have FULL protection from wind and the elements, and wouldn't look like as much of a butt-pirate.

Hey, man, I said you were drooling, just like every time I see a set, too.
