Looking at a new bike

[Jerry Clair]

Charles,
Don C French <dondiego at evansville.net>; 
 owns one, I rode it on the southern Indy run a 2 years ago. One of the kindest
men I've ever met. He let me ride his prize ZZR-1200 it was the smoothest bike
I've ever rode. As I buzzed along a nice hilly but straight stretch, I glanced back
to check on everyone and they were all dots in the mirrors.
I then looked down at the speedo and saw I was in triple digits.

I remember his wife was ill.

Also Didn't Dave Beard buy one too?

Jerry lost in China.

Ask 1kperday, he owned one and did another gent whose name is sadly
escaping me right now.

Alan, have you ever looked at Race Teching the front end?  A set of
springs and emulators transforms the front end pretty dramatically.
