Hi guys, The footpeg on my Sato Racing rearset broke off on the gear shifter side. Is there any chance I can find a replacement footpeg anywhere on ebay or if you guys can recommend a shop that can build it custom. I don't want to have to buy the entire rearset again just because of a damn...

150 miles works for me only till the first stop - thereafter I have to make a stop every hour and a half to stretch my legs and back. just finished off a 10 day 4000 mile grand tour through the midwest - 650 miles is a good distance to ride. You will definitely have fun. try to see if you can...

Hi Guys, I laid down my 03 busa in the californian eastern sierras last saturday - the bike has scratches on the left fairing and the nose fairing. I had a few questions that I was hoping you guys could help me with : 1. Is the only way to fix this is to replace the parts or could I paint the...

I don't think Boost charges you for data transfer - I started off with the $10 credit that came with the phone and don't see anything being deducted from it till now. I have also seen similar comments over on the Accutracking forum. -Ankur

yup! not having access to a computer might be a problem - but I normally have a web enabled PDA with me - so that would work. Also, I might be able to work out a cellphone interface (instead of a web one) to work with this system - still need to think it through. -Ankur

Taking your idea a step further - this is a project I am working on to see if I can use this instead of the expensive Lojack or Onguard service. Thought it might be of some interest. Ankur

ok guys - got this thing working today with a Boost pre paid cellphone. Total cost $90 for the phone, usb cable and the charger. It lets me keep a track of where my bike is at a given point of time - I have it set to send out a location every 2 minutes. In my view - its the same thing as Lojack...

http://www.accutracking.com/faqs.html Will need to try this for sure - could be a good alternative to expensive system such as Lojack and others. Thought I'd share. -Ankur

That could very well be the case - This is what the CHP manual says "Lane splitting by motorcycles is permissible under California law but must done in a safe and prudent manner." The text used to also include "The motorcycle should be traveling no more than 10 mph faster than surrounding...

Yes - busahaya told me about the meet and I definitely would try my best to be there. Need to work out a couple of scheduling issues that weekend. Will definitely make it if I can get out of the appointment on Saturday thanks Ankur
