I am. My guess is you’re not anywhere near my size.

Goldwing and Hayabusa are $139 per year total

You must have little feet. At 48+ degrees my wide 14s are crunching asphalt.

In my experience it depends how fast the wheel comes up. The wheelie control absolutely works but how far and fast it comes up varies before the nanny intervenes.

I just ran out in the street and hit 46 on my shinko sport touring tires. Lol

Before. “Fees”. I’ve fallen for ads like those before. Lol

Wow that’s scary! Had you been riding a while without having used brakes when you exited? Lucky you had good instincts/reactions.

I notice little difference between tires. I go for cheapest street tire. Soft rubber racing tires don’t even last 1k miles for me. “Sport touring” tires can last 2-3k miles is all. Gets pricey when you ride 10k plus miles a year.

Waiting for part to arrive at dealership. When I called he hadn’t heard of recall and was shocked when I read it to him saying “that doesn’t sound good at all”. Lol. He ordered part and will call me upon arrival to schedule appointment. Bike brakes well now but I did get the spongy brake...

I pay $135 a year for busa and goldwing insurance. It’s good being old!

That’s how it should have been from factory. Nice job You have more ability in your pinky toes than i got in my extended family. Lol

I also think the ethanol blends are likely higher octane than the label On the pump states. This is pure speculation though.

I use old fashioned ram mount. Had them for years

According to that’s video, 87 is a good all around fuel. I used 87 in my Gen 1 and 89 in my Gen 2 and 3. I just worry the timing is different and the Suzuki doesn’t have the knock sensors to protect motor. BMW is known to not have those sensors so those owners use higher octane-wonder is...

Bringing this back up. Thinking of getting a more mafia tune but I run 89 octane usually. Bike runs great and I’ve run 89 on Gen 2 busa and my BMW s1000. So does mafia tune change timing which would make me change min octane?
