    World Must Be Ending

    Just rode to work this morning and already planning on riding this weekend. Best part of all this is it's the end of January and I live in northern Indiana. This time last year I was driving through over a foot of snow and single digit temps. If this is that global warming thing then bring it...

    Oil changes on road trips .

    Cool idea but just out of curiosity if you know you're going to hit an oil change on a trip why not just play it safe and change your oil before hand?

    Does hayabusa lose traction easily on straights?

    You have a sport bike but hate twisties? Unfathomable! Also the statement wanting to be safe by not corner carving yet gunning it in a straight line tells me you're lacking experience. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and keep it small until you gain confidence to ride anything. I suggest...

    GSXR 1000 to Busa move or vice versa

    I've got both a 2006 busa and 2015 1000. In terms of performance between the two I'd say the 1000 feels more wild and free where as the busa is more tame yet hard hitting.

    Not 100% A Traitor

    So after 4 years on the bus I decided it was time for something different. Earlier this year I stopped by the dealership and picked up a 2015 1000 and 1000 miles later I haven't looked back. The Busa is now retired to the barn with 75k on the odo. I'm sure it'll come out for some memory lane trips

    Rode-On Tyre sealant

    Re: Ride-On Tyre sealant You're nuts for riding your bike around with that kind of stuff in the tire. I've only ever used it long enough to get home and get the wheel off the bike. In my opinion you're taking your life into your own hands.

    That BMW in the first picture was really making me work to stay ahead for a couple miles after I passed him. Damn locals... :laugh:

    Who knows stopping distance from 150 mph?

    Regardless of what the answer is, if you're going to be making an emergency stop at 150MPH there is a good chance the answer will be "too long".

    Just a few I took while passing through today. It was nice meeting those of you I did last night at the Phillips.

    Need Ideas for a place to crash for the night

    Ended up finding a room at the Philips Motel. I'm not high maintenance so it'll work out fine.
