Don't post much, mostly read.  But since My wife and a friend of mine have just learned to ride I though I would give my .02 worth. I purchased a Suzuki bandit 600 for my son to learn to ride a couple of years ago. Less than $5,000 OTD new. My wife has learned on that bike and a friend of mine...

Congrats on the SS1000 It never seems to turn out like you really expect. I did the SS1000 2 years ago with my daughter, it is something I will never forget. Live in the San Fran area, did the trip in May, before it got too hot. Left about 5am and up thru the mountains there was still snow...

That sucks, the money issue, been there done that, not fun, didn't even get a t-shirt There was a point where me and misses could not even make the house payments, thank the Lord for parents. The problem with borrowing to pay a debt, is that it gets you more in debt, yea fun cycle. You...

Have an '03 busa. Thinking of installing new stainless steel lines, both front and rear, also clutch line, and pads. What specific tools do I need? Do I need to remove front wheel? How difficult is it to bleed and re-fill lines? I have heli-bars, do I need to get longer lines, both brake and...

Yea, got one of them awhile back. We were working on a construction site at a commercial building. The building was almost completely vacant, so on deliveries of materials we typically parked in the blue zone. When I arrived the contractor was parked in the Blue zone and moved so I could park...

This very same thing happened to me about a year ago. Don't wait too long to file a complaint cause there is a time frame, 30 days I think, but do give the person some time to contact you. Is there a physical phone number or business address to get ahold of them? Purchased a body kit from the...

Ummmmmmm Sounds tasty

Yes, the joys of home ownership. It could be worse, had a friend leave for the weekend and their washer hose broke, flooded the whole house. We had our washer hose break one, it was located on the 2nd floor, by the time we found it, it had leaked through the ceiling onto my computer, yea that...

I agree 100% Watch your kids, I watch mine. And with the society we live in, if you post a sign that the pipes are hot you are probably liable. I did hear of a court case where a person sued a dog owner, cause he posted a sign on his fence that stated "vicious dog". The person sued him cause...

Only about 3,000 so far this year. I had 3 bikes, but now down to 2, so the busa should get more activity.

Welcome, Post pictures of the guages when you get them. I have the D&D slip-on, got a deal too good to pass up. Did not want the single exhaust look, I really like the dually look. I know you can get aftermarket dual exhaust. I am very happy with the slip-ons.

Nice bike, looks good. I am over in Danville, not far from you. All us N. Cali riders should all hook-up and ride.

Sorry, no pictures, but made the mod after my 2nd ride. To me it made a big difference, would never go back to stock bars. I can now ride for hours. My butt gives out before my back or neck does. To me it was a very good mod. Goof luck.

The October date would be much better. The aug weekend is the start of College, and I am taking my boy to school that weekend. Probably why Chico is booked, they start that Monday as well. Keep us posted
