Looks like the maniac is well into BBG #7. Hoping to tag along again next weekend.

Well, first (9th) BBG is complete. Super rough ride.

I quick look at the bike once home- no rear suspension at all. The shock is completely compressed with no rebound what-so-ever.

I think I will call it a year as far as the 100k ride, and most other rides too.

 

[Canadian FJR]

How many miles on that shock?

Start posting for a replacement, not a hard item to replace.

Man, that bites. Of course, ya could pick up that gen III now.... Seriously though, I hate to hear. But glad y’all were able to make it back. No shock must of been hell.

It was nice meeting you yesterday.

Well after a good nights sleep, here's the plan:

Take the bags off the bike today and ATTEMPT a BBG later this evening

I found my stock shock, so I will swap the shocks out next Saturday. (Run A BBG after swap)

Take the Penske to Traxxion in March and make a decision on a long range solution.

(This would keep me on schedule with rides through February… March is another month..)

 

[sector7g]

Good meeting you! Very glad you are still trying to go through with this. Rooting for you all the way! Good luck on tonight’s run

 

[Canadian FJR]

The man is on the move again.

 

[neanderthaler]

Poor guy gets beat up with a bad shock, now gets to ride into the sun until he turns south at Jacksonville

 

[travel_man]

Tony, you are just tearing it up. Keep it up and ride safe!

 

[Uncle Hud]

Tony, PM me. I live 25 miles from Traxxion.

I'll assume you've been reading hppants' rear shock experience?
