    Bye, Bye to the Busa? Maybe.... What do you all think?

    I'll only weigh in with my dissenting viewpoint since no one else has. I've been married for ten years. I know that's not an extremely long time and its not an extremely short time either. We've got 1 and 3 year old boys. I don't understand this age old theme of extreme wife coddling. A...

    Selling My K7 1k and buying a 350Z- Am I crazy?

    What color? Anything other than red. Maybe black if its not too rough looking. S2Ks are way too small for me, but they're slick. I'm just not moved by most American muscle. The speed and raw power are awesome but I just don't care for American cars- I specifically hate American car interiors. -AJ

    Selling My K7 1k and buying a 350Z- Am I crazy?

    I just had an hour long conversation with a friend who was tryin to talk me into a Mustang Cobra, or a Vette Z06. I'm not crazy enough to think the Z is the end all in performance. But I am smart enough to know when I wanna go really fast, all cars are really lacking. Speed is best accomplished...

    Selling My K7 1k and buying a 350Z- Am I crazy?

    I got this crazy idea. I mentioned to my wife selling my Black and Orange 2007 GSX-R 1000, and put a few grand with it to buy a used 2003-2005 350Z for around $10-13k. It would be a hardtop, 6 speed, with leather. I'd be keeping the Gen 2. Our other cars are: 2009 Maxima- that I mainly...

    Getting Pulled Over

    For the most part my closest coworkers and I won't acknowledge the spirited sportbike riders. Those who probably deserve tickets will run, and I don't want to embarrass myself by even trying to pull them over in certain situations. I probably won't write them if they do pull over, and I'm...

    Gen 1 vs. Gen 2 Axle Bolt Size

    Can someone tell me the size of the axle bolts on both the 1st and 2nd Gen Busa? Thanks AJ

    Bike keeps dying after adding LEDs to HID setup

    This is the only picture I have. My buddy told my wife this was the color I wanted and she got it for me for my birthday back in February. If she would have asked me, I would have asked for something like 12k- but this temp stands out...

    Bike keeps dying after adding LEDs to HID setup

    The kit was from Xentech- the vendor is Star Rotors. The color is violet. And again, the bike is running just fine now. I think somehow, someway, something was grounding out, but who knows. I'll try to put a link up of what it looks like. AJ

    Bike keeps dying after adding LEDs to HID setup

    I took everything apart, put it back together, and put on smaller screws for the battery terminal. Now I'm having zero issues. The bike runs fine, and consistently starts without a hitch. Though the lights still dim a little when decelerating... Thanks for all the help. AJ

    1000cc to Busa??

    With my 07 GSXR1k, being in the shop I've been riding my Hayabusa exclusively for the past few weeks. I went to pick up my 1k from the shop yesterday, and riding it just didn't feel right. It wasn't the riding position that bothered me. Instantly I thought they turned the idle down, because it...

    Got my helmet stolen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Amen. However, is this really a suprise? Most of us have spent enough time in parking lots waiting on other riders to see so many (unsavory) people trying to sell things that you know they stole- helmets with no straps, cell phones, ipods, deodorant, etc. You practically gave it to him. If...

    My integrated LED Tail Light (Clear type)

    Ah, that's a price that justifies the purchase. Even though the Gen 2 exhausts are boat anchors, I think the colors have a lot more going on than the Gen 1 exhausts, and they look better fitted to any bike. I still think my favorite factory exhaust is the K5/K6 GSX-R1K titanium exhaust...

    Bike keeps dying after adding LEDs to HID setup

    The battery does NOT have a bad cell. I had the battery tested, but not the bike, yet. I'm going to remove the HIDs and then take the bike to the dealership. Uuuhhhh, it came with it's own cords with resistors (I think), and ballasts . I don't know if that means it had a relay or not...

    My integrated LED Tail Light (Clear type)

    Why did you want a Gen 2 factory exhaust on your gen 1? Not trying to bag on you- just trying to wrap my mind around it. AJ
