    The award for subtle insults across several threads goes to………………

    Moto.

    Are the blades sharp Moto? cause eventually they’ll work it out and you’ll need defence

    Biochemistry
    Bioinformatics
    Biophysics
    Botany
    Cell biology
    Developmental biology

    Environmental Science
    Geodesy
    Geography
    Geology
    Hydrology
    Meteorology
    Oceanography
    Paleontology
    Seismology

    Now as building rockets is using applied scientific knowledge already gained from the field of Science, one must deduce that it would be a “Rocket Engineer”, whom uses this knowledge to build the rockets for the use of Scientists, therefore from what I gather, with a bit of a turn in his Studies Moto could well be our resident “rocket Engineer”.

    See simple “Rocket engineering” to be more precise Boony

    I want to, I had sorta planned to, but unfortunately my family had other plans that included me not going away this weekend, and going to tamworth over the long weekend. But what the heck if you do a good report it’ll be almost like I was there.

    and then there’s next years.

    Hey Mr & Mrs Ecks good luck and Mrs E. hopefully your Husband won’t be too traumatised and will be of assistance to you.

    I’m betting a nice pink healthy baby and a smiling tired Mum, Dad by their sides grinning from ear to ear.

    BTW Ecks would you consider the name “qwerty” at all? :P

    Since when is 30 “old” ?

    he should be on “young Pups Bling Bling, I’m still in nappies forums” shouldn’t he?

    Like they say, you can’t get that silly playing with just one…… ;)

    BTW have a good one Olde’ Chap.

    The job of rear suspension is to…

    *Keep the rear wheel in contact with the surface
    *Provide the rider with some degree of comfort, and control
    *Allow the bike to remain stable and ensure geometry doesn’t change too much through it’s arc of travel.

    It does this through the primary resistance of a coil spring and secondary resistance of Oil and Gas travelling through a series of restrictors to keep some control over spring compression speed, to stop “pogo stick” effect it also uses these very same oil restrictors to slow the rebound down as well. Most decent rear dampners/systems will have 4 points of adjustment
    Spring pre-load (sag)
    Shock Compression ajustability
    Low-speed rebound dampening
    High speed rebound Dampening, some elite systems also have adjustable ratios on their linkages but for the average trail rider this is a compromise betwixt $$$ outlay and returns.

    1K = 1000
    So 1K members by Xmas, good if it happened, no biggy if it doesn’t, quality not quantity is where it’s at.

    I know thousands of people, I have less than 2 dozen friends.

    I also prefer BBQs to the Pub, Local MX Meetings to nationals.

    Call me elitist, but hey that’s how i roll

    That’s the go TB, one of the QLD boys i went riding with on the weekend said that too, if it’s damaged in there, you’ve got bigger problems than a rego label.

    Moto you must be a bigger carnage master than I am… :ohmy:

    I’ve got a nice little QLD one on mine, flipped it, crashed it, been hit in it, still there and never broken off…. touch wood, however it is tucked up nice and neat under a slim tailight and carrier setup.

    Carry my rego label in backpack though.

    It’s everywhere, at least it’s got a cold front in it, mostly they’re hot and dusty.

    Can’t see the sun now, and I do love so staring at the sun…. :silly:

    It’s ok Ecks, Yours are a different size to mine, just that I have a set of heavier (not heavy enough for me apparently though) springs and some valve stuff here, but I have 46mm and your’s are 48mm and they aren’t interchangeable.
    TB is right though Teknik have a great rep for Jap suspension.
