That was hilarious; it sounded like a NASCAR interview with a couple of those guys.  Try to not to say anything controversial, and mention the sponsors as much as possible.

yup...the most powerful motor in the world is useless, if you can't maneuver it around a track smoothly.
after suspension, I'd want brakes.

Well said.  It seems like the motor is the first thing most guys modify, but the suspension and brakes are much more important.

I thought sticker kits made bikes faster! Nothing like bold new graphics to add horsepower.
