    While i prefer the look of dual discs, getting that kind of performance from a single set-up is impressive.

                    I have to agree with TCK your bike is really nice. I hope you have abandoned the notion of gettin gid of it. Keep up the great job on the GS. It's at the top of the great bikes I've seen here.
