    Pro's - bike starts easier. (no choke, even after sitting idle for months).
    Do you do stand up as well?

    Well, if the bike is happy working better on a placebo, I for one aint gonna
    tell it any different. :)

    Wanna come up with something intelligent now?

    Suppose you think the catalytic converter on your car exhaust doesn't do
    anything either... Thats why it's too smoky...

    Wot car? I don't own one. That puts it beyond doubt. You're seeing things
    that don't exist...

    No, but the plonker on the bike that has dished out coin on that
    placebo would want it to work - correct? and would hate for his
    investment to do nothing like a Peter Brock black box...
    even if it didnt.

    Does it matter to you that all the negative comment is from people who don't
    know, haven't tried, and 'think' it doesn't work (including the so called
    debunking website mentioned by JL who uses the word 'seems' an awful lot and
    admits to not having actually tried one) and the positive comment comes from
    the only person who actually has one?

    Note I don't make any extravagant claims, and neither did 60 minutes, but I
    have used it and tested the before and after...

    Not that I actually care what anyone other that me thinks. Which begs the
    question why I bothered to even post this... :)

    Using what's called a "butt-dyno".
    Phew, that just as well then.
    Ahem, yes.

    You need your butt dynoed in order to tell whether your bike starts or
    not?
