[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 109119, member: 2708"] I can imagine that riding at speed on imperfect roads would be quite an experience with original Bramptons, friction damping only. The Girdraulics, with a decent shock fitted, aren't awful even after getting off modern bike such as the Thrux R with its anti-dive Showa big piston forks. The Girdraulics will bottom now and then when pushed hard on a patchy road. Best to avoid that, however it does sometimes occur when fun is the goal. The Girdraulics seem to take the abuse without a complaint. Glen [/QUOTE]
