lol, takes a lot of patience, and do not rush it, take your
time, stay calm, and get comfortable, once you start to rush
things, it starts to look like crap lol. i catch my self getting
frustrated sometimes and have to take a break to calm down lol

Going around small round shit is definitely the worst. You gotta
move your arm so much when the arc has to travel so little. I
shake like a fucking crack fiend, it's real difficult for me to
do.

Yes! I need the hump gone. So stupid that they needed that much
room for the cat.
Heres how my seat sits. I'm about 6'2". My head with a helmet
hits the roll bar and i can barely reach the steering wheel.
