VXO, you're completely right about the VX's capabilities. And this is coming from a guy who had NO problems cruising up the NYS Thruway at 2am doing a buck, a buck-10. Bumps, potholes, no problem.
But this is assuming that nothing's mechanically wrong with the suspension. What I'm experiencing, and I suspect some others also, is that something has deteriorated over the past few years, resulting in dramatically reduced ride stability.
So while your advise is good, it should only be applied to VX's that are in known-good condition. I'm an owner for more than 11 years now. My VX and I are quite familiar with one another, and I'm telling you - what I'm experiencing is NOT by design.
