Racers Edge

Ok. So I’m tiny (not quite 5ft)… but I ride a Yamaha V-​Star 650 Motorcycle.
After dropping it a couple of times… I’ve gotten to realize that I probably need to do some modifications to my bike. (thannks to suggestions from a friend — you know who you are.) I went on ebay… bought a lowering kit… and called a few places to see if they could install it.
When I called Leon… he said… so I do this as a hobby because I love working on motorcycles so much. Come on in.
This guy is impressive. I showed him what I wanted to do and he talked me out of it. He said that it would change the dynamics of the bike. and that although it would accomplish what I wanted… it may effect turning. He showed me the disclaimer that came with the parts (basically saying install at your own risk… if you die it’s not our deal.) He asked me what my goals were and then he said… go next door to South City Auto Upholstery… talk to Boris and have some cushion taken out of your seat. Have him install different foam and it will do what you want for a fraction of the cost … and without any additional risk. After I said it was a great idea… he said… here I’ll introduce you… and walked me over… and explained to the guy what I wanted to accomplish… he also explained that it didn’t need to be specially cut so the cost should be low. I got a quote and was on my way. Leon is a super nice guy and is really environmentally conscious which I like a lot. He is opening a place around the corner and is going to be selling electric scooters and cars. Nice. I wish all mechanics/​motorcycle dealers were as honest and cool as Leon. He’s someone you’d hang out and have a beer with too.
