I hate the "car only" lanes in Texas around the large cities, waste of a perfectly good lane. I agree most trucks need to stay out of the left lane but I dont have too many cars pass me in my truck, I dont drive stupid but I usually have to be somewhere ASAP. I recently went down south west of...

I was there about 10 or so years ago for a week doing some work but in the middle of winter. We had a few problems on the job so we got to take a day off and see Durango and Silverton and the mountains all covered in snow. Silverton was a virtual ghost town since it was the off season but there...

I could've gotta a pic off the water but it dried up around here. :(

I agree. It was pretty cool at first, then all the planes were taxiing around which made it cooler then they showed them taking off and landing which made it unbelievable. Someone has a lot of skill and a LOT more free time than me.

Holy ****! Sorry, couldn't resist...

Could be a few things actually. Is it true surplus M855 with a LC headstamp with the NATO circle cross on it? The bullet could have gotten jammed back in the case during manufacturing, transport, or loading in the camber and caused the case to over pressure and stick in the chamber so it was...

I think you are over engineering things here. You are basically talking in terms of sprung and unsprung weight by changing the way the bike is lengthened. A longer arm will have more unsprung weight while a longer frame will have more sprung weight, this comes into play for handling which is not...

You might give ZG a call, I heard they use to offer a screen that is not listed on the site called a XX-Tall I think. TheTouring screen is 3" taller than stock and the unlisted is like 7" of course that is if they even still offer it.

Well the Busa did it again but I feel I am ignoring a obvious problem. This time I was cruising down the the road at about 60mph so the RPM was steady and above idle speeds (I did increase it to 1250) so that wasnt the problem. Bike cut out, clutched it, hit the starter a couple times and no...

Thanks, I will adjust it and see what happens.

Right around 1100. It didn't do it today so it could've been a fluke but I really won't know if/when it does it again.

RULES: 1) After 4 days, the person who made the challenge, can post their own picture and pick another challenge. 2) If a challenge is not met after 5 days, a new topic is picked by the previous challenge winner. Guess its time for a new challenge.

One quick pic from a short 60 mile ride. I forgot how much the Buell pegs and DB screen helped a 6'5" rider...

Huge thanks to Joe (GSX1300R-T) for making the Buell Peg Mod super easy. I ordered a set from him late last week and to my surprise they showed up at my door today. I did the mod myself on my last Busa but his are super easy and look fantastic. I will say that his instructions are second to none...

Actually I think its a good idea. If he sits in a state prison then the tax payers will have to take care of all of his medical needs which are probably a lot. Plus I dont think they are too worried about him making a run for it... :whistle:
