Oh boy, there's a new cool kid in town...
I never ride above my abilities or comfort level... hell, I do not even lay on the tank till around 130 mph. I am looking in to a Spyder NO2 setup for it now! ;-)
With the shift fork things will something just no longer work if you bend one, or is there a specific sound/symptom that would alert me to a problem in that department?
P.S. Ask Dale Earnheart Sr about just HOW safe a "closed track", "professional" drivers, roll bars, and 6 point harness are! ;-)
I ride like I am invisible as PLAN on stupid drivers doing the unexpected. How fast DO YOU LADIES ride your Hayabusas on the public roads!? Maybe some of you should look in to a nice Honda Shadow 250cc (or a Hardly Ableson), and sell that poor under-revved 'Busa to somebody with the balls to turn it loose!
TITTIES! :-)
Welp shift forks bend or break a common sign is grinding into gears and popping out of gears. If it totally breaks on you you could see a locked up trans which would be fun....
Now onto riding habits...I'm no angel be the first to admit it. I have been riding busas since they been making them have had 5 different years and run them in the twisties harder than anyone i ride with and know. I have been 200+ gps confirmed on 2 different busas and loved it. It not a matter of stones.....Its a matter of growing up and showing some common frickin sense. I am not judging you nor do i honestly care how you ride. I was just making a small hinting suggestion that 180+ on public roads is a really bad idea. Sure your god and are ready for anything that happens. I ask you this......Just how much reaction time do you think you have at 180 to an emergency situation? Food for thought is all.........Rubber side down brother, don't ride faster then your guardian angel can fly....
