If ya hear about a busa gett'in smoke by an r1?...

Now I'm confussed about who's the "Squid" here? A guy racing to mid tripple digits in traffic or the guy doing a wheelie at 70 mph. I'm confussed because just a few days ago there were many of us calling a guy who crashed while doing a wheelie all sorts of "Squid" names including Stupid, F. Idiot, Clown along with a few other choice adjectives.

Just square me up on where "Squid" stops and "Ataboy Jinks" starts?

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck?

rolling along in 6th at 90 mph and doing the glance over to a liter bike rider = getting your old ass spanked LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!! GO SIT ON THE PORCH!!!
 
Right now in Cali police are looking for this one dude who got away from a drag race for murder. Yep the other guy crashed and died.

not worth it.
 
I've been smoked by an R1 LE and it wasn't pretty. Of course it was at the track by a rider named Mark Hill: an instructor at trackdaz.com.

It's ok to admit that you got beat esp by one of the new crop of liters. They have just as much rwhp as the busa and are at least 100lbs lighter. That's not to say the Busa can't hang though.

Jinkster, hmm we both had R1 experience this week.

I usually don't play the who's faster game, but the other night on my way to meet up with some friends for Mai Fest..I was just crusining along when a nice little R1 can bee seen in my mirrors making tracks on me. Well he slows down, and paces me...I had already down shifted to 3rd from 5th and cruised with him for about 30 seconds at about 70 mph.

Not sure what gear he was in, because I couldn't hear him over my bike & some Bach I was playing on the mp3 player
cool.gif


Anyhow, I seen him playing the throttle game back and forth, so when I seen a little get-up and go from this guy, I Down Shifted into second, and gave Gretchen a little slip of the clutch and off we went. Ok, first off kids, don't try slipping the clutch in 2nd gear at about 80 mph if ya havent done it before...lol. Well to make a short story even shorter, Gretchen did her dance, and when I was ready to shift from 4th to 5th gear, I looked wayyyy back to see Mr. R1 not having much fun. It felt good, like I said I don't usually play that game...but the motor on the Busa sounded so nice with the Bach playing in the background. So Mr. Back, this Spatlase is for you
cool.gif



Edit: Ohh, and yes I've been spanked plenty of times by squids in traffic...I like to decide when to play the game, and if I get so-called spanked, than so be it.

well, first I didn't know what the squid means...as I stick around more and longer, now I know what that means...generally, if you know, when to play or when not to play...you not a squid...and of course, there is a dress code goes with it...

Hey Jinks, I'm glad you got educated on Pilot Powers. When I have a gut tell me they don't squirm under hard braking, I'm thinking he don't brake very hard. Good tire but there are better ones out there.

I'm going to try a set of Dunlops soon. I've been running the Pirelli Super Dragons and going through a set a month. However, I don't think I have ever been on a better tire. They do handle nice with great feel and unbelieveable stick.

I was just poking fun at you about the squid thing. I think you make pretty good decisions out there as you have lived to become an old man according to a few on here
biggrin.gif


However, it does bother me when some of the gents on here think it's funny when some guy crashes while riding on one wheel. I spend a great deal of time on one tire and I know it's hard for some to believe but I feel in total control while up on one.

Let us know what your opinion of the Qualifiers are after you've worn a set out?

Cruising on the interstate @ 90mph in 6th only sweeps 4,750 or so on the tach of my stock sprocketed busa...so...please excuse me for not keeping my revs up over 5K on my way home from work!

L8R, Bill...oh and...PS..you don't by chance own an R1?..

do you?
