Hey Grumpz,

No its not a black Busa, its this one [DSCN7272.jpg

There are lots of street bikes run WSID , just for fun or curiosity as to what their bike and themselves are capeable of. I would think a strip time on a bike like a R1, Gixxer or Blade would have a lot to do with rider, just watching it looks damn hard to keep the front down!

It wasnt a street meet last night at WSID,it was National Open Comp with Nitro funny cars and Top fuellers doing a bit of testing.

A top website where you can lose hours if you like bikes is www.uponone.com. Some of the best bike clips I've seen,

Cheers, Caz.. :)

:D im in the hunter !!! not that close to wsid have been there, with mate that had a 400 chev in torana he likes the blades i like the gixers.

caz is that a black busa??? if is so yeah that thing is wild ( i dont want to go that crazy) i geuss im also just asking which one of these is easier to get parts/maintain and you were very happy with ( some one told me honda's find it hard sometimes to get parts?) hey it's good to see some of you guy's ride too :(:D yeah busa runs a hi 9 dont know excact figure but they are better to launch having a longer wheel base B)

G'Day GRUMPZ,

Are you looking for 1/4 Mile times ONLY?

I ride a 23+ year old Guzzi which goes 'better' than it should :D

Over the 1/4 Mile it's Soggy.

Out on the twisties it Surprises a few Modern bikes :(

Mind you I won't be going to Mount MEE or Mt GLORIOUS for a while.

Hey!! I can [maybe] ride better than the bike can handle...........sometimes :lol:

It's 23 and gets better each year, recently rode Port Hedland to Brisbane via the Adelaide Hills and Wineries Hic!! :D

mmm nice!! i like that color and cheers for the link caz :D i was talking about a busa owned by shane alletags whos cracked the 9 sec barrier on his turbo busa with a [email protected] which has run a 160.66mph these are very awesome bikes but a bit too crazy for me, imagine these things when on full boost faaarrkk. hey ive seen a busa with the bubble thats on the back removed and i think it made the bike look 100%better. any info that you think should be known before buying one of these bikes too would be good ie which you think pulls up better

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
