Unfortunately I have seen more "idiot" bikers out this past summer.... Shorts, sandals, wheelies, weaving in and out of traffic, trying to light cigarrettes while riding, reading texts at traffic lights... RIP to the victim and her family
Amusing. Why do so many people insist on being something they are not? Be happy with who you are. What you own or do not own means little to people worth knowing.
I had 1984 Kaw 750 Turbo boosted a bit. 10.27 on the quarter. It sucked on the backroads. It was a pig off boost and uncontrollable on the boost, especially on the curves. I'm not that great on the curves to begin with but adding a turbo significantly complicates matters due to the on/off nature of the power delivery. It was a great highway bike though. Would have made a great sport tourer.
Did anyone notice the busa rider taking the time to flip down his shield? If he was full throttle and really wringing it he wouldn't appear so casual. That GTR would have to have at least 1000 HP to outrun the Busa. There are numerous drivers that will testify to that. You just need to calculate the power to weight ratio since drag at these speeds would not be that significant until near top end or so. The BUSa was being walked at the start... not quite right.
I can relate to that. I barely get any time to ride mine between being a foster parent and having a daughter of my own. However, it is a great looking bike and they will not get any cheaper as time progresses. Unless you need the cash you may consider just keeping it. Just my 2 cents
