Get more shit done you lazy Canadian. I guess people are lazy on both borders.

Canadians hibernate in winter. Unless they play hockey or Eskimo Bowling, or own a sled.

There are Canadians that don't own sleds?

Yes, the ones who own snow shoes.

Or polar bear swim.

Oooh - looks yummy! Curious to read how those stack-up against the Ohlins/Penske.

I'm hoping that it'll come up to the level of the Penske, on my VFR. The research I did, before buying it, tells me that it should be in that class.

I really doubt that it will match the feel of the Ohlins Type 4, that I had on a previous bike. Nothing that I've tried, on the track or off, has come close to it. In the course of 3 years it did need several rebuilds though, where the Penske just soldiered on.

UPDATE and don't give me any whiny bitch excuses.

Stripped it and waiting for a chance to gut the forks.
