Downhill speed upgraded to preposterous from ridiculous!

Wow, what a difference a new shock makes on my mountain bike! The shock itself is much bigger so it has far more travel than my old one did. The icing on the cake is that the travel is adjustable so I can dial it way down when riding up the mountain so my center of gravity is further foreword. On the downhill I can dial it all the way up for full travel, this shifts my center of gravity father back on the bike which is far more stable. The difference on the downhill is almost unbelievable! The extra travel really smoothes things out and I feel far more stable at speed. As a result, downhill speeds have exceeded the ridiculous limits up into the preposterous zone (ludicrous speed is still off limits though)! I'm a very camper today, I'm not sure how the dogs felt though, even Jack was behind me today!
