Endurance Test

The year 2001 showing the signs of our economic recoveries will be recieving another blow as the economic slow down in the USA seems to start. However, we have to act smart with existing resouces. For those who has been there before two years ago, it seems that it is not too hard to be cautious again with your spending. Same goes for the bikers out there. Now is the time to take it easy and prepare for the worst to come. Your existing bike, hold on to it first. If the looks does not catch on to you anymore, why don't we get some accessories to bring back the looks of your bike.

There's a lot of angles we could up grade our bike. The thinning paint scheme, for instance, could always be replenish. Maybe even change it to your favourite MotoGP racing team and have that race replica look. Your brake hose could be replaced with the steel braided ones. Your tyres could be fitted with softer compounds. To those owners who are more creative, you could change the fairings, the head lights and sport rims in order to have a new look, and thus changing your affection towards your machine.

All these facts is brought forward due to AFTA which is still a long time ahead to indulge. Therefor, it is wiser to hold on to your existing machine. As and when AFTA came, then, only then, it is suitable for us to get the latest edition of superbikes.... In the mean time, to soften the hard ache of looking at your beat up machine, let's do what I've suggested.

This will avoid us being trapped due to spending loads of cash paying the downpayment and the monthly installments, especially if the economic problem does come. At least, with the fitting of these accessories, while it beautifies our machine, it will increase the performance especially in braking, steering and its long life possibility.

Think about it...
