Alright Dave, Welcome to the forum. You seem to be riding well for the amount of time you have been doing it, you must be a fast learner which always helps. The members in the forum are only harsh if you dont obey the rules and you make stupid threads like 'rate my bike' and 'best stem' just pointless threads like that. Treat the forum right and it will treat you right. Anyway safe riding and enjoy the forum. Oz
