setup is everything?
Ok, I should say this first, you can do the hardest **** with the most ghetto *** setups, I know because I've tried and beat myself to do it. But recently I gave up and just paid for what is needed. It's not like our "sport" is really that expensive. I would spend more money snowboarding in a year then I do riding a whole season. But I was the first to ***** about putting any money into parts for my bike. Well, **** all that! Aftermarket clip-ons, MSR or Moose clutch lever, raidal master for the handbrake, Full Throttle handbrake foot master, tyger shark cage (nothing takes a beating like it), and a good front end makes a world of difference. I still ride booty *** take off tires, I still have blown forks (fucin inverted pos 1000rr blows every month!) and my radiator still leaks. But after spending money on the parts that don't break I can't say enough about how easy it is to ride for hours on end. No fatigue, no worry about **** going wrong, just charging hard as possible knowing the bike and parts can take it. People always ask me here around vegas whats the cheapest way to setup a bike, pull off some janky *** **** and struggle. We're talking about 300 more dollars to have a perfect setup VS what you're going to spend to have some booty *** bullshit that may or may not work as well as it should. I'm a cheap ***, but after spending the money for the right parts I can say it's perhaps the best money I've spent all year. Setup is key, I picked up at least 10 new tricks, cleaned up the ones I had, and it's so easy after I set the bike up correctly with the right parts.

Schooler Im not saying that just because u might have an awesome bike and awesome setup your gonna be able to ride good, im saying from the other way around that if your bike is junk then even if your the best rider on earth you will be limited by the bike and setup you are given...
doesnt mean a really good rider cant make your bike do things you cant.. hell freddie spencer will put the smackdown on the track on a VFR against experienced riders on 929s

Re: setup is everything?
Setup is everything just like everybody has been sayin... you must be fully comfortable with the bike to ride at your best potential!!! I was recently runnin only 7 up on my bike with ch mid pro taper bars...CRAP!!! Ended up goin 12 up with Renthal Fat Bars and my comfort level is incredible and my stability is at it best.. my bikes had some down time and im not much for exsperienced stunt rider but overall ***** good when your bikes at it best and your enjoyin every bit of it...
