The tires I was given were the race compounds that were designed to compliment the race coupound SC1 and SC2 as provided by Pirelli. These tires apparently worked real good at the dragstrip and were in fact being used on an 8 second Hayabusa. That being said they didn't work for crap on my bike...

I was actually given a set of Tomahawks last year for free from the manufacturer to try out at the track. Both tires were recapped Pirelli Super Corsas with very similar tread patterns and the familiar SC1 and SC2 compound stamped on the side of the tire. I did a full day of testing on them at...

California Highway Patrol loves integrated tail lights if you get my drift. If I can keep the lighting somewhat normal/stock I will give the CHP a lot less reason to pull me over.

I have decided to go with the HMF exhaust for my Busa but I am torn between the hight mount and standard mount. I prefer the high mount but I don't want to lose my blinkers, nor do I want to go to an integrated light. Does anybody have clear pictures of what they did for blinkers with the HMF...

I have two Bandits for this very reason. One is kept fairly close to stock, has 53,000 miles and is ridden everywhere. The main modifications were to the suspension and brakes while the other Bandit received mostly motor mods. It has 152hp and a little over 100ft.lbs. torque before nitrous. The...

I have 6 Arai RX7 Corsairs and I love them. Yep, they are a little noisier than other helmets, but the fit and aerodynamics, especially at high speed are worth it. Riding double I have also noticed a lot less buffeting and the acoustics are really good if you are using an intercomm to talk to...

Awesome! Thanks

KML's

Any chance we can get pics from a few more angles? I would especially like to see the angle from the rear. Thanks

I'll get pictures of my fist bikes posted but that Hodaka 100 brings back a lot of fun memories. In the mid to late 80's I was knee deep into desert racing w/5 close friends. All of us bought Hodaka 100's and we used to race them around our camp sites. The only time I was ever injured during a...

This question really hits home with me.  I have over 120,000 miles on 3 different 1200 Bandits and currently have a 98 1200 Bandit with over 53,000 miles and a 2001 1200 Bandit with over 25,000 miles.  In every case the Bandits were second or third bikes in the garage yet I pretty much always...

Another view.

2006 LE with just a couple of mods

Here is the bike that has made me the happiest! When I couldn't go back to the track I found myself constantly looking for something to fill the void. The Hayabusa was the only bike that just did it for me.

I miss these days! Sorry for the thread jack.
