R.I.P sage rogers 4 11 09 . you can't fix stuped !!!!! raceone 3 .) I got a feel for the difference almost instantly & from that point on it was the best ride I ever had in my Max. The extra width is NO big deal really. Heck, you can see the tires. If I hit something now, I better go get my eyes checked. I've run that wash w/o the suspension (remember She Took it Out?) & now with it. I'm never going back. Some of the turns in the canyon have these deep ruts in them from the dirt bikers & with the conventional ride, you have to fight against them, because the tires want to follow the rut. It's a workout. With the suspension, I noticed nothing but how smooth it rode thru those ruts, over ruts, over rocks. It was absolutely awesome. Now Whipper & I over the 30 some years that we've been driving these things are big on roll bars. We've both rolled them from time to time. Heck, I even endoed in front of a cop that was coming to tell us we couldn't ride where we were riding. We'll never ride w/o a roll bar, but I can honestly say that with the stability the Max has now, if it ever happened it would be because of a really BIG screw up on my part. I did ask Whip if he could lighten up my roll bar, maybe chrome moly tubing. I just don't feel I need it that beefy anymore. I also would really like a bigger motor, just so I can keep up with him. One thing I really like about the width is that I can grab the roll bar & step on a tire to get in or out. 
The sticks were so perfectly responsive. The slightest touch & it did what I wanted it to do. And it did it smoothly. I totally lost my fear of the rocks. I knew I had plenty of ground clearance. The ones my tires did ride over, & I did ride over some, I bearly noticed. I never imagined it could be this nice. I really wonder what it would feel like riding on a nice dirt packed road. Gees, I can't imagine it being smoother, but it would have to be like floating, I think. Anyway, the Max Springer is perfect in my opinion. He may seem big, but there were places I couldn't fit thru when it was conventional. You just learn to go another way if that happens, right? I'm so happy that Whipper got to finally do what he's wanted to do for so many years & once again, he did it well. It's just his version of a springer. His inspiration coming from all the different springer versions that were popping up around the time we stopped racing. He's given me a real, real, nice ride. if it don't float with out you getting wet . don't bring it ! R.I.P sage rogers 4 11 09 . you can't fix stuped !!!!! raceone 3 .) Those jumps she did over that dirt ledge would have been back breakers in a stock 6x6 , with no suspension . Bridget did some really good drving !!
