    16/42 gears = low trap speeds

    I had a run-in with the new management here a while back and got pissed off. Haven't stopped by in quite a while. Maybe I'll start coming back around, now that I've settled down a bit.

    Who is this guy? I've never seen him there either, even when attending the big bike events. What kind of total BS is this? You ride what would essentially have to be a bike capable of running 9 flat anywhere else, the two and a half hours up to LACR, then weighing 250 lbs + kick ass all day...

    They run on Thursdays? Tetge is at LACR right now practicing up some more. I hear from our Mustang clubbers that it's like a scene from Fast and Furious down there... all crowded and crazy. Plus, only running the 1/8th., hell my stock bike dosn't even start building steam by then! Come on up...

    Yeah, I would hate to see you bruise your melons on the way back. You sure know how to paint a pretty mental picture. Making all those other Busa owners proud! Speaking of which, do any of those Hobo's ever mess with the bike when you park it behind your shack down by the train tracks?

    Is that your same ballistic 170 mph T-shirt? Wow, it not only doubles as saftey equipment, hand towel and personal love interest, but also as a cargo net for transporting your groceries? Too bad they went out of production 20 years ago, or I'm sure they would still be selling like hot-cakes!

    Everyone in the staging lanes walking right by your new bike to go look at Ooooohh, a Hayabusa!

    I would experiment "short-shifting" it, especially in the lower gears. It would allow you more time at WOT, and to possibly avoid some of the wheelies until you really felt comfortable "floating" the front end down there a good ways.

    Hot Damn, Mr. Brown! You're gonna get your self black-balled from the Busa board! Did you also inform your buddy of the special going on right now? It's a one-year free membership to the Phantom 12 fan club with the purchase of any new or used ZX12-R before the end of the year. *The...
