Tire pressure should be part of your daily pre-ride inspection.

To those that have never had it, I hope you never experience it.

I had a very near tank slapper on a trip with my father. So bad that my feet came off the pegs and I thought i was coming off the bike right then and there. I saved it but it is the only thing in my riding career that has ever seriously shaken me. I couldn't eat for days. And when I lose my appetite....you know something's up!

Go with GPR, they are a way better deal than Scotts or Ohlins. They are also low profile and look very nice, available in different colors. The one that's pictured above is outdated, here is the most recent design.....

Are you crazy? Ohlins above anything else. Nothing wrong with GPR but no way are they "better" than Ohlins.

Price to performance ratio is better with GPR. Sure, the Ohlins is better but you are going to pay through the ass.

No one said anything about price. I'm not performing a price comparison or a dollars to value ratio. I'm just saying, Ohlins is a better damper (and shock too Trip! ).

Actually, Homeslice specifically mentioned "better deal" as in PRICE.
