Ryan,
I know I'm going to get a ton of flack on this, but let the beatings begin.
I say do it.
I had it done two years ago and the procedure takes a half hour at best. Not going to lie to ya, its not the best feeling in the world while they're doing it, but I was on my feet in no time. "Snip, Snip" occurred on Friday afternoon. I was walking around gingerly on Saturday and back to myself by Monday.
So lets look at a little math. The Sprint ST is 1050cc's of pure adrenaline joy. I was down about 96 hours (Saying 4 full days Friday afternoon until Tuesday afternoon. Felt I could have rode on Monday, but waited until Tuesday). That's 11cc's an hour. Good trade off in my book. Also, let me keep this clean, the prescribed home "testing" sessions with the Mrs. aren't a bad side-effect!

Ok, I'm ready for my beatings now. Please begin.
Steve B.
