Re: bitchin and BS
ya, the strongest and most reliable ones aka f4i/929 
so what's with the new bandwagon of having a brand new bike? other than the new front end suspensions and braking i don't really see a need. Maybe you big competitors, but for the rest of 99% of the stunt world it would seem smarter to have a bike that would be stronger. I doubt my 05 636 will ever turn into a dedicated stunt bike. I just really didn't get any better practicing on the 636 over my f4i.

... the 06's i'm/we're using over here have held up better than i ever expected... broke one rearset, other than that, it's held like a champ.... If i ever get on a NEW bike, it won't be on my dime, i'm to broke for that

Re: bitchin and BS
ah, i get ya.
ya, tony just seemed to break too much on his 636 for me to like them.
I've bent 1 set of handlebars and broke 1 footpeg (just the footpeg) on my f4i. I've had it for 3 years now so that's not a bad deal. Being down in power is made up by the tank-like abilities...lol
so are you going to be all weird when coming back to the 04?? haha

Re: bitchin and BS
All weird..... Naa.... If anything, i'll be ten x's better. This trip has been an all around learning experience when it comes to bikes....The only real difference i notice now is the feel of the size of the bike. I'll be able to throw the 04 around like its nothing. th 06 is smoother on the throttle, which messed my timing up at first, but now it's all gravy. I've always had snappy bikes, so going back to that wont be a problem.. a day to adjust if that
