    hit a BAT

    I hit a bat once in Oregon, in 1983, it bounced off the face-shield of my helmet. It was night, of course. I was actually slowing down, was only going about 40. It was small, about the size of a robin, just went 'thump' off my helmet. I went back and it was lying there, dead on impact...

    Motorhead already at 313hp with 12pds boost.

    I read that 205 ft-lb torque figure, and said what everybody else who read it said to themselves...Jeezus Christ! :) I was convinced of the magic of turbo bikes when I rode a turbocharged 1977 KZ1000 (not a Z1R-TC), when I was 17, back in 1979. The guy who built it, a friend of my older...

    parts for sale

    Anyone interested in parting with the stock left-side passenger peg/exhaust can mount? I need one, hoping to get away cheaper than getting a new one. pwtrt@aol.com Thanks.

    Just ordered Muzzy full titanium exhaust with round titanium can from

    Thanks, Omega...that answers what I was really wondering about. My first agenda item, for horsepower, is getting into the nines. But I want to go right from the strip to Willow Springs, or Angeles Crest Highway, and not sacrifice anything. The Titanium system is starting to sound like a good...

    Looking for left passenger footpeg/exhaust can mount bracket

    My original was tweaked a bit, we tried to tweak it back and broke it. I understand some aftermarket pipes do away with it. If you have one sitting around (again, left-side), that you would like to sell, I need one. Thanks.

    Just ordered Muzzy full titanium exhaust with round titanium can from

    Whatever. I want to know about ET's, trap speeds, and lap times. If you don't go for that stuff, and you want to get off easy, a dyno shop and a truck scale will suffice. But this "I noticed a big difference" stuff doesn't convince me. Have you heard of placebo effect? It sounds faster, you...

    Just ordered Muzzy full titanium exhaust with round titanium can from

    Full Ti system is pricey. What are you going to use that stuff for? Actually, the stock Busa goes pretty good on the track, at Willow anyway. Tires are the one preformance item definitely worth paying attention to. If running at the strip, well, horsepower is one part, weight is the...

    Fast Eddie, I'm interested in aquiring a second pair of OEM wheels for my Busa. I'd like to make an offer. pwtrt@aol.com Thanks. I don't see an e-mail address on your website. Hope to hear from you. [This message has been edited by Mr Bear (edited 27 July 2000).]

    This will get me to jump ship QUICK!!!!!

    NumbNuts, NFL, AFC, and NFC are terms which apply to American professional football, gridiron. The AFC and NFC are the two conferences, two halves of the league. I was drawing an analogy between the performances of the two conferences, and two large rival companies, like Suzuki and Kawasaki...

    This will get me to jump ship QUICK!!!!!

    I totally agree with Chris. I was thinking back to the last time Honda really went out on a limb and built a sport bike to blow everyone away. It was the 1979 CBX, and it flopped in the showroom. Honda definitely has lots of bean counters, and they keep the R & D guys and the racing guys on a...
