can you give us a picture of the bikes angle, at which the "balance point" may be?
How sensitive is that balance point? If you go over an inch, does it fall back on you, having to use the brake, or is it a good enough sweet spot to sit like a quarterback "in the pocket" for a while? Also, what gear do you stay in, (I have 1 tooth down in front sprocket) going down a 55 mph highway in the balance point (2nd or 3rd)?

It's pretty close to 12 (balance point), and did you notice how low the tire pressure is on Kyles Woods back tire ? All the stunters ride very low tire pressure.

I have no problem on the 6's, 750's, but the Busa is just so heavy. I've never tried a 1k.

Ha.. who actually OWNS photoshop.. *

ok. this is threadjacking, but..

you can use the GIMP instead of Photoshop. it's free.

here's a link to the Windows version:
GIMP - Downloads

then go here and check out some podcasts on how to use it:
Meet the GIMP! The free video tutorial podcast.

(go here to see the older shows.)

I especially like the first two episodes which is the introduction to the GIMP and the second where he sets up the GIMP for use.

lastly, two things:

1) I use Linux heavily for all my computers and servers. I have done so for many years and love it. I do have one Windows machine for some CAD programs (AutoCAD, MicroStation, SolidWorks, etc.).

2) I don't care WHAT you use (Windows, Mac, etc) because it's a personal choice. Please save any "<blah> is better because..." remarks because I think you should use whatever you want.

I'm a "right tool for the right job" kind of person. :thumbsup:

hope this helps out someone because the only thing better than pics in a thread would be clear, sharp pics in a thread. :laugh:
