A little nugget to look forward too; Between being "really" comfortably seated on the bike, learning how to steer with very little effort, good throttle control and visual skills, the world of riding changes.
csmith- went out today and played around with the "sweet spot" -- you are freakin' spot-on! everything changed- handling, feel etc.. thanks for the advise. Will probably do the 15T next season, and that goes without saying- I'm stickin' to my ninjette!
