I knew there was a reason that I liked you Eric.
My real question, for anyone who would like to reply, is:  Is there such a 
thing as too much roll-stiffness, and if so just what does it get you?  I'm 
looking at bigger a-r bars, but there are lots of choices.  Fortunately for me, 
they all seem to come in f/r sets, so I'm anticipating that the fore/aft 
balance was done by someone with a clue (as opposed to me).  I've found some 
aftermarket 'bars that claim to be 40% stiffer than the factory "road race" 
bars and am wondering if perhaps that's a bit much, hence the question.  Will 
"too much" roll stiffness get me more weight transfer to the outside tires 
resulting in an earlier slide as the overworked outside tires give up?  Or, 
will planting them harder (hopefully smooth transfer so that we don't rush past 
the limit, as described above) make them stick better?  Or (final option) does 
everything depend (meaning that the only way to find out is to buy them and try 
them)?

I dunno about that. ;^) .22's are an awful lot of fun. Care to challenge me to 
animal crackers at 75 yards? Then Neco wafers, and finally aspirin tablets? 
Truth be told I missed the aspirins more often than I hit them but the animal 
crackers sure are fun to watch explode.

Now, with a good .308 a bipedal varmint can be in trouble as far away as 1100 
yards, depending upon the wind. =8^O

I'm just glad with the recent rash of "fast & furious" drivers out there that 
the media has someone to burn at the stake and/or dunk besides a bunch of us 
lawful gun owners.
