So? This site always has a hard on for somebody...it appears as though it rotates from one vender / builder to the next. And unlike so many other flame wars, Clyde actually had a first hand dealing with GSS. Let the man speak :D

The rider weighs 146 lbs in street clothes. Suspension on that bike is setup for moto and a 235 lb rider. Ellet, just curious why this 146lbs rider has his suspension set up for a baby elephant?
