Boony thats the beauty of having your suspension done properly rather than a set of springs just stuck in your forks. When the valving is done by experts a turn or two on the clickers stops the forks bottoming and dipping under brakes. Nick uses his for both singles and ADV (well doesnt now) Suspension 90% valving 10% springs I reckon
The rest of your question well of course it handles different, it has to it weighs more
I will see if I can get Rudy to write a bit about valving and springs and their relationship to handling

Can you take me of the list after reading SB’s comments I didn’t realise this was going be such an intense ride. thought it was just a few mates old & new getting together for a bit of fun.
I know I am only a very average rider & will probably hold the ride up more than once.No Puddles it will be ok mate trust me. There are two different loops and there will be two groups. Its a normal OLD BULL RIDE nothing different. Mick and I are running the ride no one else
It will be the same as previous years PuddlesTB

I’ve got a holiday house at Cudmirrah (near Sussex Inlet) and we’ll be staying there on Saturday night. We can sleep up to 7 and would welcome yourself, Salina and any other OBTs that want to stay. (There’s room for a tent or two in the front yard too if needs be).
We have a fire and hopefully Kat might stay too so there’s potential for drinking games, lol. :woohoo:
Conjola National Park is right across the road so a ride on Sunday is on the offer although there are plenty of other options too – beach, lake, fishing, mtb’s, walking etc.
Hope you can join us.
Cheers,
Cathi
Well we are coming down for the Saturday night, we might camp not sure. We will aim to catch you guys at the ride later in the arvo. That’s all I know at this stage, looking forward to it

Dean please read the first post so you are clear on all the details. There is no Sunday ride only Friday and Saturday. You are on reserve list
You should agree Rebore because Scotty is right :blush: I never looked closely at the picture, only that I seen a 800 in his shed and put two and two together and came up with three :laugh:
1200 it is
