Help Getting It Up
I have a 2004 Suzuki GSXR-600 and my wife wants to learn how to ride. She is only 5' 2", so in order for her to reach the ground I had to lower it. It only sits about 2 inches off the ground now. I want to learn how to do stunts but I'm worried that my bike is too low to learn on. I don't know how long it will be before we get a bike for my wife, though. I'm just worried that with it being so low it will come down too hard and damage the fairings and even the exhaust.

With it being lowered so much the chances of you even getting it up in the first place are slim! If you're gonna learn to stunt you'd best buy another bike, because it will take a beating during the early days.

Y'all have a link for that NASA-designed leather suit? Google is sucking when it comes to finding anything on it.Ian Ho-Wong
Umm, that was a joke, dude.
Where's the Love?
What happened to this magazine? When it first came out it was about streetfighters, tricks, wheelies, burnouts and stunts. But now it looks like you guys sold out and are putting in people who ride these stupid extended bikes with huge tires in the rear that can't do one trick (or even ride). Those bikes are just to look at-not for riding. I hope you reconsider and start putting more pics and articles about real riders and not these fake "bling-bling wanna-be" riders.

How's that shoe taste? We have the feeling it's in your mouth after reading last month's "Fat Tire Follies" feature!

"I was merging onto the freeway and was struck from behind by a car. My Ninja left me like a rocket. All I was wearing was my helmet and street clothes.
I traveled back over the car that hit me and rolled out of bouncing off the car next to the initial car (it was bumper-to-bumper traffic in Dallas). I ended up spinning in circles down the freeway."

"She's pretty hot for a mom of two and 33 years old! The bike is a 1991 Honda CBR600 F2. I would love to see my babes in your mag!"
