RR Whew Fork is setup right finally

Well I got out on my Bullit with the 02 Jr T's setup right for about 15
minutes tonight! I had to head back because of a massive rain out of
nowhere.

The point of posting this short ride report was the amazing experience of
getting rained on so hard on a bike in the middle of a downtown city around
dinner time. Well I guess I should say American city. I got my new springs
from Marzocchi today. The firmest they make for my Jr .

Got a 5' drop to flat in and these springs are it! I weigh 210 with riding
gear but tonight I was about 195 with no gear. That drop took up 6.5" of
travel. I will add a cap ful of oil to each leg tonight. That should be
perfect.

The sag was the same.

The massive bobbing was gone.

The brake dive is gone.

I was loving it and hammering out to the city's park that has some cool
trails the rain came. It came fast and hard so I hid out in a bus station.
Noticed across the street there were some nice ladies in a restaurant
checking me out. I headed across the street and got under the awning. I
was about 3" from the glass on my bike. They were about 12" from the
window. Rain coming down. I looked around and out of nowhere came Mark
Lanegan. My favorite artist/singer out of Seattle.

He was walking in the downpour not seeming to care. We talked and he asked
me to have a drink with him. I locked the bike and we walked to the bar
right around the corner.

Man 30 minutes later I was lit after the whiskey and beer.

Rode home after that... no biggie it was less than a half a mile and I rode
walking speed.

I can't believe that I got the forks setup this good (we'll see this weekend
at the DH course) and I can't believe I met one of the greatest artists
still alive right now.

Oh Brian at Marzocchi hooked me up!

That's interesting. I just shipped him a Gun Club album. Doesn't sound
like he's going to be home to receive it cuz I don't think you're in LA
(he seems to have relocated to smogville.
