    Kaw zx10r vs. busa/gsxr1000?

    Anyone ride an '06 ZX10R? Can you compare the ride to an '06 GSXR1000 or Busa? Not speed, just the feel of it and suspension. I have a Busa, and am thinking of getting the Kaw. Rode an '05 GSXR. <!--EDIT|MeatGrinder Reason for Edit: None given...|1148857042 -->

    My friend died yesterday...

    I knew him for 30 years. He was the typical Harley rider that wouldn't wear a helmet. It happened last Sunday at 2am. On a dark country road that he knew very well. He went wide to the right on a left hand curve, got about a foot off the road in grass and gravel. When he tryed to get back on...

    Saw my first '05 LE in person...

    Looks awesome in the sun. And I can't get a correct pic either. I paid $9400 plus tax. members.cox.net images missing <!--EDIT|MeatGrinder Reason for Edit: None given...|1126952137 -->

    Typical 1/4 mile times?

    I ran at the dragstrip for the first time EVER. I had to watch how the lights worked before I tryed it. Ha! I ran 7 times with my totally stock Busa. My first was an 11.86. My last was an 11.10 at 130 mph, 1.91 at 60'. I loved it. Plenty of room for improvement. What time can I expect from my...

    Lets meet up...

    I always see the HD and sportbike riders getting groups together and riding into Quaker Steak. I'd like to get a group of HAYABUSA riders together. Lets meet up some night and ride in. Maybe make it a regular meet. Organize some group rides. I'm in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Anyone interested?

    My new tattoo:

    Heres a very crappy pic of it. It looks better than this. The colors aren't correct and it looks 3 dimensional. Still needs some background above her head and touchup. The gun is wrapped around the front of my arm. 18 hours of needles so far. Link to tattoo artist: DON'T SEE LINK AT WORK-sorry I...

    I'm 5'7", will the Busa fit?

    The Busa can do it all. Its a drag bike, sport bike, touring bike, and cruiser. I've owned a lot of bikes, and to me there isn't a better choice. Its my girlfriends favorite to ride on. 5'9" here, no problem. Get the dogbones and lower the rear if you have to. No big deal. Wear BOOTS, not...

    Hot weather jacket?

    I have a mesh textile Joe Rocket Phoenix. I never ride without it, no matter how hot it is. Would a perforated leather be hotter to wear? I have my eyes on one...

    Icon Pursuit jacket?

    If you have one, what temps can it be worn in? I have a Joe Rocket Phoenix. Do you think the leather Pursuit will be as good for hot weather?

    Trading K5 1000 for a Busa:

    The '05 GSXR 1000 is an awesome bike. Very Fast, great handling, low weight, brakes, shifting, seating position. BUT, I got tired of the hard ride. Seemingly smooth asphalt felt bumpy. I had a Busa, and they are comfy. That is more important than flickablity to me. Traded my yellow/black...
