I also think what helped me is I was wearing a Helmet, gloves, and a Jacket. It also helped that the cop also rides a bike and understands the kind of get up and go that this bike has. I apologized to him and he was very cool about it.

If I don't pay it within 30 days, it turns into a state ticket and they set a court date with a notice to appear. Plus my fine probably triples.

I got pulled over on my way to work today.  Not good, but I lucked out.  $50 ticket for a city ordinance violation, instead of about $150 ticket, plus court appearance, plus losing my license for about a month.  The officer cut me a huge break.  This won't count against my license or my...

Thanks guys.

In my biggest bonehead move to date. I thought I'd try E85 in the Busa. After a half block, I realized a big mistake. E85 + Hayabusa = BAD MOVE I'm now in the process of draining my tank and I need to know the most efficient way possible. Please let me know.

Sounds like it could be a fuel filter. When at high revs, it's pulling a higher volume through it and allowing it to run right, but at low revs it may be just trickling. I don't know it was just a thought. It almost sounds like it could be a vapor lock issue. Where when it heats up it's...

Carlyle is in southern Illinois, about 50 miles east of St. Louis. I'd love to get together and ride sometime.

This was probably the nicest its been here in Illinois in about 4 weeks. I had the bike out and the sun was hitting it at the right angle, so I took this pic for all or you picture ho's. Not bad for a cell phone camera. You can even see the dirt on it from sitting for so long. Enjoy.

Yesterday, I saw a ton of motorcycles pulled over by the Missouri Highway patrol. I guess they were speeding in the reversable lanes. Saw a ZX6 and a ZX14 pulled over. I also saw an R1 of an R6 along the rode by itself. There were bike cops and regular cruisers, but it looked like they were...

Check this site out. They have great prices on Shinko Tires. http://www.tiresunlimited.com/ALL%20TIRES/Shinko/Shinko_tires.htm

If you like power, don't go with the 600 Gixer. It is a dog compared to the busa. I rode one last week. It's a nice bike and suprisingly comfortable, but the power is definitely lacking. That's just my thoughts on it.

What's a dremel??
