been riding scoots for 30 years now and can't remember falling off for the last 25 or so.
got meself a dragster last week and f@@k me, didn't take me 2 days and i fell off going into a corner with hardly any speed at all, as far as i concerned the back just disappeared on me, or something.

i then started to look into boards and all sorts, to find out.............that's what one has to put up riding such new tec products, pisstake innit?

i've seen there's means to sort that out, on top of that my ques, has anynone ever modified or changed the front end on that, using a diffo fork possibly??

The standard shocks are awful, particularly the front one, coupled with rubbish Michelin Bopper tyres the handling can be 'different' to say the least.

Having said that when they are sorted they are fantastic fun 8-)
