Definitions 2, 3, 4......perfect use of the word by me! (and I like the first pronunciation, 3 syllables!)
Ron at Washington Cycle Works is certainly an intellectual leader, as he has many many years of suspension experience and success. He also counsels, and give advice. Since I am ignorant and he is all knowing...he is my mentor on this subject. His reputation is known far and wide, on suspension...so he is in fact, a leader in his field.
Guru !!!
And yes, there is even a religious sort of component to motorcycle stuff, like suspension...full of contradictions!
And just like with religion, you may note a hint of skepticism in my posts!

I doubt that a couple of mm is going to make any difference. You’d probably get that in the bushings. And I’m really starting to dislike the word ‘guru’. I’ve met so many experts on so many things that totally contradict each other. A bit like religion when you pause to think about it....
