Describe your ideal Suspension?

I have been speaking to Mojo about this... Mine is as follows.
First 1/3 of stroke... Very plush... like a water bed.
Second 1/3... getting stiffer.. soft compression with pretty quick rebound.
Last third .. pretty stiff with good bottoming protection... slower rebound to lessen "pogo stick" feel.
That said, suspension should bottom out about 3 times a ride. Proves to me that all available travel is being used. If bottoming occurrs more, or less, adjust oil hight as needed to bring suspension back into spec. Unused suspension stroke is a waste... and probably occurs more than you think... everyone check theirs with a zip tie once in a while?
Does this sound like something you would like to ride?
