    When Kevin was explaining front shock travel coming out of a wheelie, first thing I thought of was James smashing the front of his 240

    Could definitely see feather on the inner driver's tire and after seeing that driver's spring how it was bound to the right (as if a coil got bent out of spec) - so yeah those were smoked. This should add to the changes in the rear for sure.
