Well, I have nothing to do with bikes. I am dentist (orthodontist). But I am very good with my hands (ability to make the appliances..) maybe i can help you with small parts of your bikes 
Professional technical IT guy here.
Bit like Lyle in that it feels like I've done it all by now.
Started off in mainframe world in '78 and have also been doing lots of "mini" stuff like on many Unix platforms, Wang-VS and
Nixdorf to name a few.
In my last/current job as what's commonly know as a BC (or Basis) Consultant in the wonderful world of SAP I'm now also up to my neck in NT (can't say I like it BTW).
Have never been into 'puters at home until I discovered what E-mailing and websurfing could do for me as a fanatic motorcycle nut about 2.5 years ago.

Despite no "real" education, I now work as a robotics engineer for a pharmaceutical company. I'm a licensed A&P mechanic as well. Done a lot of biotech work over the last 10 years and am now part of the human genome race. I basically do anything and everything, especially if it is mechanical/electrical. I've been into computer programming for the last decade or so as well. My busa will be my gift to myself for the last 10 years of bullsh!t.

I wonder if I could get a group discount with HayabusaOwnerFan?
I have a business that manufactures support equipment that is used in the video and film production community. My claim to fame is a product called a "Jimmy Jib" which is basicly a counter balanced arm (up to 30ft long) to which a remote controlled Pan head and camera is mounted. You see our gear a lot at concerts, flying the camera around and getting all those crazy angles. It is also used extensively on sitcoms, soaps, sports shows, variety shows and even on feature films. If you every catch Jay Leno or David Letterman, watch when they
go to or come back from a commercial, that camera movement is via a Jimmy
Jib. Anyway, its been a good living and I am finally getting to indulge some of my motorcycle fantasies which include,,, a BMW r1100 GS of course the hayabusa and a very unique dualsport (really fun on fire roads) Harley.

I'm a manufacturing engineer for an Aircraft parts manufacturer. I've spent 12 years in the Sheetmetal/Machined parts Aircraft field doing everything from Boeing 727 overhauls to Heat-treat to CAD modeling. I also run the Professional Motorcycle Racing Assoc. an all motorcycle drag racing association in the midwest. (check us out @ www.pmra.net) My latest project (with fellow busa owner) is billet KZ engine cases for the dragracing industry. You guys should all come to one of our PMRA races and we'll have the international Hayabusa shootout. MB
..although those days of which 'Abuser so blithly blahters of are indeed far in my past, and the Gov will most certainly disavow any knowledge of me, especialy in light of the little "incedent" that ended my carrer, I will consider accepting a position as a "consultant" on a per diem basis...method of payment and currency are open to negotiation...
I am currently Research and Development manager for a textile company. Specifically in the Fiber Reinforced concrete division. Basically I oversee the testing lab area for our products that used in concrete to help prevent and reduce cracking in concrete.

Work mainly in electronics, head technician/partner in a chain of electronics servicing/retail shops.
Years of experience in electronics, programming, design, currently making the "Yellow Box" speedo recalibrator that some of you guys like so much. I ride a Suzuki TL1000R, but would have a 'Busa for second bike if I ever save enough money.

Formerly an analyst in a retail company in the UK, and then the marketing person for a software company. Now an MBA student at MIT.
Not a Busa rider yet - just started to ride (and not very well either, I have dropped the bike three times in 3 weeks). Keep those copper Busas in good shape, guys, and in 2005 when I am ready for one I can buy it from you (if I am still alive by then).

This was an old thread but Dirty Pete I respect enough that when he tells me it's a good idea to post here I will even though now I'm a senior member too!!
Lyle, now there is a politician here. Small time selectman town of Willington CT. Not full time job as pays $4200/yr making pay for time spent about 20 cents/hr. Been involved a long time (20 plus years). Only thing I've learned is labels don't mean anything. Party is Democrat but am very pro second amendment, deeply anti - regulation (imagine a 100hp limit), won't go into rest but lean very Libertarian.
Real paying job is machinist in nuclear industry. Yes it is a union job, computer, busa, wife and all else brought to me by union labor. Have worked job shops part time. My big regret is not having my own shop, politics and toys keeps time to do so nonexistent. Drinking and drug habits contributed to this greatly also.
One thing I don't understand about Suzuki making the Hayabusa is the vibration reduction measures taken. The winter bike is an '85 FJ600: you want tingles and buzzes? I also raced motocross '85 - '96 you want vibration spend time on an '86 KX500, makes Harleys easy to deal with. Bottom of hill at Southwick at speed even with one foot of travel will blur vision to the point where the little jump is where the line is picked into the turn because in the air the vibration stops.
If I sometimes seem short in my replies to folks here, it's because I never had the patience developing experience of having children. Work is 'what are you doing for me now', politics is 'what have you done for me lately', family is 'what are you leaving when you die'. The only meaningless hangout time I get is with other bikers and not enough of that! I also rail against the snivelers a lot. The two other streetbikes I've had are an '85 500 Interceptor (wadded in '89, see drug/alcohol problem) now have FJ600 as second bike. Yes I consider the Hayabusa to be a miracle. Not to snivel, but the project money will be spent on cornering/ handling stuff I'm not gonna have the zx12 kawpukes dusting me in the twisties.
