Right on. In the systems application world, buying and using a first generation version of software, generally X.00, is a nightmare. We call it marketplace beta testing. I experienced it with my 1983 Porsche 944, its first year. Girls would stop me on the street, squeel, and try to climb into...

After following several of the bike thefts posted on this board, I've added another story below. Even though I wasn't victimized, this is the dealership where I bought my '04 Busa and have it serviced. I've even had guys from there take it from my garage when I was out of town and my wife would...

I've been to two California Superbike Schools, one the high-priced two day and a single day session. Both used Ninja ZX-6R's, the 636 and 600, respectively. They put out about 113 HP and this was way more than enough for a school where technique, more than speed, is the focus. With 183 - 193...

Must be chain day. Have said rusty member read the other post regarding Chain Wax and how to religiously maintain chain.

Ahhhhhh, the ever-amazing chainally fixated; cleaning, scrubbing, rub-a-dubbing, lubing, and waxing.. If I followed a checklist of all the 'important' things that had to be done to my 'busa before, during and after every ride, I'd throw in the towel and never take it out. It's like some of...

And the answer is: Don't panic! I was fortunate to stumble upon Keith Code's Twist of the Wrist 2 shortly after I bought my 'busa. This book's theme is about overcoming 'survival reactions' that actually make any situation worse and are magnified greatly in difficult circumstances like the one...

I don't understand how this character gets away with this. I googled his name and it appears he served 30 months and is/was on probation for some type of theft. What is interesting is that in Feb. 07 he was arrested for leading police on a 120 mph chase after he responded to a motorcycle for...

No, found out yesterday it's the fuel pump. I will be on my third, for an 04 with 46,000 miles on it.

I too have an 04 with a lot of extras which when they were mostly electrical (PCIII, YellowBox, Gear indicator, Bluegauge dimmable gauges) it was not a problem. Then I installed Brock's top end kit and the bike wouldn't start when it was hot because of the heavier cranking required for the...

The '04 is in the shop this week for state inspection and maintenance and yes it did need new wheel bearings. As I posted elsewhere, it had also become unrideable after 6,000 rpm's due to stuttering and bogging. Turns out it also needs a new fuel pump.............aargh they are sooooo expensive.

I'm 61 and when I was a kid we were told we'd all have one of these by now....................to go with our Commando Cody jet backpacks.

No test ride for me in Western PA. Don't know of any dealer who allows this. But I knew the praises of the Hayabusa and sat on several to make sure it was comfortable. I was interested in the Ducati 1098 and when I asked on the phone the dealer was reluctant to agree to even let me sit on it. I...

And we wonder why our rights are not so slowly being taken away by the passage of law after law after law? It's because there are too many idiots like the fool in the picture who have to be protected from themselves!

I'm getting that empty pit in my stomach that I know you have, toolmn. You should pressure the track with civil litigation as well as criminal conspiracy. Bring as much to bear on this case as you can because it sounds like C-Bird is a dangerous connected thug who fears nothing. Funny thing...
