I'm trying to prolong the life of my knee sliders right now 'cause they are completely shot from the track. But, yes, I put my knee down on the street often. Some of the local guys on R1s, GSXR750s, and the like talk about how fast their bikes are in the turns and how sluggish the big old busa...

you're lookin' good out there , Vaughn!  i think this thread needs just one more picture of me, though!  

Electrical tape works fine just put enough layers on the tabs of the windscreen that it feel snug when you push it back in place. I actually used screen spline (the stuff that holds the screen tight on the windows in your house.) I tried the rubber stuff first but it seemed a little too tight so...

I switched mine over a couple of months ago.  I definitely prefer the GP shift pattern.   If you decide to make the change just be careful for a while.  You shouldn't have any problems for the first few rides.  It's after you get comfortable that she'll try to bite you.  Most that I have talked...

Hey Jetset, I am REAL glad that you are OK. I'm sure you were bummed. I hope you make it out next year! Ben

Reminds me of that sign we've all seen on the windshield a pick-up truck: "FOR SELL. Call Billy's pager at 555-xxxx"

C'mon Revlis... You promised you wouldn't tell anyone that I told you! I went out today and did a little riding. I don't think I went over 100 the whole time, mostly because my front wheel was pointed straight up most of the ride! Wheelies are my other guilty pleasure and after riding a few on...

Bro, I'm gonna have to call you out on this one. I have been there all too many times as the "ripper" is in fact rippin' it up..and BTW barely able to keep up with me!! 145 is just gettin' warmed up! Why else would you buy the 'bus in the first place!? We were just up on Rt.140 last weekend...

Look up Thinker62....about 4 lines.  :) I'm planning to go also.  I've been to Myrtle beach but never one of the bike events there.  I'll probably trailer down 'cause I might look a little silly riding the 'busa with my golf clubs flappin' in the wind!  With the possible exception of the actual...

Man, don't track the busa!  It's way to expensive a machine to lay down.  Check out this link: amasuperbike.com They have a classified section for used track bikes.  You can pick up a descent gsxr600 for $3500 or even a GSXR750 national Champion for like $6500.  Most are wired, have shocks...

Ok Rip, I'll do it! You pick me up a speedo, a sender, and a yellow box and I'll put them all on my bike to see if they work! :biggrin: Seriously though, it seems like it should work, especially if you replaced the sender. Hmmmm Maybe I'll look on ebay for some used parts. -Ben

Just checking the board for the first time since the ride yesterday and thought I'd throw in my $.02... First of all the ride preceding the accident was a blast!  We had a lot of cool bikes (especially the busas) and a lot of cool people.  It's not often that I ride in a group that big and it...

$205   I just can't let the Oracle pledge more than me!  He's kinda a tightwad, so this must be important.  :biggrin: Sure would like to hear whether or not the cap' wants one.

Feature, In my opinion, it sounds like you should be ready for the 'busa this summer.  If you apply the same wisdom and common sense that you have shown in buying a good starter bike to learning to ride the 'busa ,then you should be fine.  I say go for it!  The hayabusa is really fast and...

But hey guys, just remember; that's why there are so many great deals on parts on ebay!  :laugh: Hey dylix, Definitely get the 'busa.  Only problem is they're not really that fast in stock form.  What you really need to do is borrow some extra $ and get a turbo kit, big bore, oohh and don't...
