  2. An alternative from Demon Tweeks across the pond

    I'm getting one of these. It's a bit expensive - about $130 USD with the base and shipping - but I really like the design because of the tapered cone and the quick release latch. Every time I take...

    When I got started just a couple of years ago I didn't realize any of this and eventually had to make a rules matrix myself so I would know about the shocks, the cyl head, the tires, etc. Tricky for...

    Roland's link is just right

    I've got Jake Lamont's book. The item Roland send was just what I needed. I will also look into that Pinto manual. Thanks all!
